Ladies and gentlemen,

I will be cycling in the Hong Kong 50 km Cyclothon on 8 October 2017. However, rather than doing it for just personal gain, I am going to do it to raise funds for a charity I have supported for 28 years, The World Land Trust (WLT)*.Their mission is to protect the worlds most biologically important and threatened habitats acre by acre. For instance, most recently they raised £300,000 to save the habitat for the Orang-utan in Kinabatangan, Borneo. I will be specifically raising money for their Action fund which allows WLT to direct money where it is most urgently needed.

Whilst I am no Chris Froome or Bradley Wiggins and the event is no Tour de France, I aim not only to complete the 50 km but to do it in a personal best time of less than 2 1/2 hours. So there will be pain, and I'm hoping, lots of gain!

Would you please sponsor me either of the following amounts:

HKD or equivalent ( knock a 0 off for GBP)

$200 if I complete the Cyclothon

$500 if I complete the Cyclothon in 2hrs 10mins - 2hrs 20mins

Any amount of your choosing should I smash it in less than 2hrs 10mins - which I aim to do!

Your donations will be very much appreciated, 85% of which goes to the nominated projects of the Action fund. Not only will you be protecting the worlds most biologically important and threatened habitats but you will also be supporting the communities that rely on those areas.

Thanking you in anticipation of your support,

Best regards,

Patrick Sherriff.
