Piers and Charles v's the Italian Alps!

On June 15th 2008 we will participate an alpine cycle race, known as the "Granfondo Campagnolo", in Italy which is designed for young athletes. It takes place in the alpine Dolomite region north of Venice and is almost 80 miles of big hills, with a vertical climb of over 6000 feet. If all goes well it will take 7+ hours non-stop.

With a combined age of 102,  and without the Italian alps available in Sussex to train in, the odds are against us managing this course. But complete it, we intend to do, with the inspiration of supporting Marie Curie Cancer Care pushing us along. Your support for our attempt will help the work of Marie Curie, which is legendary to anyone who has ever had knowledge of the effects of Cancer.

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Marie Curie Cancer Care will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
