From 9th June, 7 of us will be cycling just under 1000 kms from Pisa to South West France taking in most of the Italian and French Rivieras.

As well as enjoying the excellent company, magnificent scenery, beautiful weather, fine wines, delicious food and good roads, I will also be raising money for a fantastic cause - React, a charity that works to give children with life-shortening illnesses comfort, dignity and where possible, greater independence, by providing specialist equipment and other essential support.

I hope you will help me to raise a very large amount for this wonderful group. I will more than double your donations and will ask Ninety One to match the total.

Many thanks in advance for your generous support.

John
