Dear Friend,

Having completed three Flora London Marathons, I've decided to take up cycling (on the advice of some other 40yr+ somethings). Given I have now done 2 of the 3 events which make up a triathlon it seems only common sense to give one a go and try and raise some money for a good cause.

A very good friend of mine, Hanna, suffered from Aplastic Anaemia (a life threatening bone marrow disease) in her teens, and now lives happily in Sevenoaks with her husband Paul, and children Hollie and Mia. I have known them since our children were at nusery together and all through school. Paul is very active in The AAT, and at one of our regular monthly Dads' nights out, convinced a few us to take part in The AAT London to Paris triathlon, their main fundraising event, partly for a social event, but more importantly to raise money to help support the tremendous work done by The AAT. I would therefore be very grateful if you would consider sponsoring me. All the detail is in this email to be able to make contributions online (below is also the blurb from the website).

Thanks, Neil  

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Aplastic Anaemia Trust 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.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
