I have agreed to take part in the European Wanderers ‘Road to Ventoux’ charity bike ride, a 400-mile, five-day bike ride from Perpignan to Marseille with the aim of raising a combined minimum total of £10,000 for 3 different charities. My chosen charity for the ride is Mind, a mental health Charity.

Starting from the Perpignan on the Mediterranean the route takes us through some of the most amazing countryside, including the famous Chateauneuf du Pap. The fourth day of the ride takes us to the Beast of Provence, Mont Ventoux. Most riders will climb it one way via the Gorges de la Nesque, whilst a few “mad men” will climb Ventoux three times in one day!!!

Donating to Mind through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to Mind and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - the team raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and sponsor me today!

Many thanks for your support,

Dave Rogers
