Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am now running in the Great South Run as my next challenge on 28th October 2012
This follows on from the below which gave me such a buzz knowing I was raising money.
I have decided to set myself a challange!
To take place on Monday 16th July and Tuesday 17th July
At 31 I have only ever donated to the usual charity events but now want to "do it myself" and for a cause thats close to my heart.
I am raising money for the Macmillan Cancer Charity. I am riding an exercise bike for a total of 292.2 miles.
Planning non-stop (only toilet breaks) on the bike in the New Look and Fit gym (I would do it in 2 days so around 10 hours for 1st day and to a finish on 2nd day - approx 20 hours in total)
Why this distance I hear you ask?
Its related to my place of work.
This is the combined distance between our New Look Head Office in Weymouth to our Head Office in London and then from there to our Distribution Centre in Newcastle-Under-Lyme
- distance between Weymouth HO and London HO is 131.9 miles
- distance between London HO and the DC is 160.3 miles
- total 292.2 miles = 470.2km
Donating 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 the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.
