Sponsor Ian Ball


Event: London to Paris 2008
Date of event: 23 July 2008


Hello and thanks for visiting my fundraising page. As you can see I have been a keen cyclist from a young age and now that I have MY OWN BIKE I have decided to undertake the challenge of cycling 300 miles from London to Paris. Starting in Greenwich, I will join around four hundred other riders on a four-day journey finishing by riding down the Champs Elysees the day before the Tour de France arrives. Please help me to raise money for Action Medical Research to continue their important work. The Charity’s breakthroughs include the polio vaccine in the UK, the medical use of ultrasound scanning, the artificial hip, and discovering the importance of folic acid in the prevention of spina bifida. They are currently looking for answers to premature birth, meningitis, cerebral palsy, stroke, epilepsy, osteoporosis and a whole range of other diseases. Please help to make my miles in the saddle count by sponsoring me! Donating through this site is easy and secure. It can be done using debit or credit cards and, if you are a UK taxpayer, please select the Gift Aid option so that Action can reclaim the tax you will have paid on your gift and receive an extra 28% at no cost to you. I will be paying my own trip expenses so any money donated will go direct to Action Medical. Thank you very much, Ian.

To date I've raised £765.00 total online. In addition to this, the government's Gift Aid Scheme has raised a further £136.25

Please help me reach my target of £1,100.00 by sponsoring me.

You can leave a message for me when you sponsor me. Thanks.
