London to Paris Cycle September 2009
 |
Many thanks for sponsoring for my 19th consecutive year of sporting charitable fundraising.
I have raised over £4,000 for The Rose Road Association in Southampton for their Change My Life Appeal (see the website at www.roseroad.org.uk).
|
This charity provides wonderful support for children with multiple and profound disabilities. My four fellow cyclists who also cycled to Paris enabled us to raise over £10,000 in total, which was very pleasing in the current economic climate. I think they have also all now got the ‘bug’ and will no doubt be either joining me on my next challenge or trying a different challenge.
I am pleased to report that the ‘bionic hips’ have settled down well as the anniversary of my operation approaches and I am currently dreaming up a ‘different cycle challenge’ for 2010 to celebrate 20 years….....
Thank you again.
With best wishes
