Story

I MUST be MAD!  LOL

I was 60 in August, and this is likely to be my last ever sponsored event

I have put in an enormous effort training, and have lost 4 stone in weight !

*** STOP PRESS***

Due to the political unrest in Eygpt, and security concerns

(The Eygptian presidential elections start on Nov 21st)

The ride has been switched to Jordan!

I will now be cycling 200 miles, on 4 days, beside The Dead Sea

There will, also, be 1 full day's trek around the ancient city of Petra <<<< Not sure how I'll cope with that, as I don't really walk much at all  LOL

'CLATTERBRIDGE CANCER RESEARCH' is a charity that is very close to my heart!

So many of us are touched by cancer, in some way, and it is only by constant research into the causes + treatments that we can ensure that people beat it

I have to raise a minimum of £2,750, in sponsorship, and I have decided to donate £1,000 of of my own money to cover the costs of  flights, accommodation etc.

 

Huge THANKS to a friend ( a real good guy) for his utterly amazing contribution to my total ..... no words, on here, can convey my feelings!

My sincere thanks also go to my employers :

  Miltons (Liverpool) Ltd / S S Milton Ltd  Pawnbrokers/Jewellers Liverpool, Birkenhead + Chester

Fantastic day @ Mathew St Festival Liverpool 28th Aug

£600 collected in buckets, in 6 hours! (Made me proud to be a Liverpudlian)

Fri 23rd + Sat 24th Sept >>>> Bucket collections @ Tesco, Bidston  + Morrisons, West Kirby ..... Amazing total of £970 !

Huge THANKS to both stores, and all their customers
