Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
For our sins, some of the University of Bradford Cycling Club have signed up to cycle with some other nutters to Bradford's German twin town of Hamm (and back!) in June 2012.
A total round trip of 574 miles (gulp!).
All monies raised will go to Bradford Disability Sport and Leisure (http://www.bradforddisabilitysports.co.uk/) who are committed to"Providing disabled people throughout the Bradford area with sporting oportunities of both a recreational and competitive nature".
We've paid for our own costs so anything you give will go directly to the charity.
I started commuting to work by bike 2 years ago and every day appreciate how lucky I am to have the choice to do this - not everyone is so fortunate - so when I saw this opportunity to give something back through cycling I jumped at the chance.
No amount is too small and all donations will be appreciated.
If you want to visualise your donations then think of it like this:
· £1 = water stop
· £2 = a downhill coast
· £5 = an uphill slog
· £10 = Europort to Moerdijk.............46 miles
· £15 = Bradford to Hull...........74 miles
· £20 = Hull to Bradford ...........74 miles (but worth more as it’s the last leg and we’ll be shattered!)
· £25 = Moerdijk to Kleve................ 80 miles
· £30 = Kleve to Hamm................... 92 miles
· £35 = Arnhem to Europort (the return leg)........................103 miles
· £40 = Hamm to Arnhem (the return leg).........104 miles
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.
