Hi,
Thank you for visiting my sponsorship page.
Like a mad fool, I have decided to join forces with my brother and cycle from London to Paris over four days this coming July.
Some may say its the desparate act of a man attempting to cling to his athletic youth. However the real reason is because we are trying to raise money for a fantastic charity and as always in these cases we need your help.......please.
We are raising money for Action Medical Research, a great charity that funds pioneering medical research.
In its 50 year history it has been involved with numerous breakthroughs such as ultrasound in pregnancy, the polio vaccine and the hip replacement operation.
They fund many research projects each year which will lead to a healthier future for everyone. They are currently campaigning for the UK Government to put more money in to research in to premature birth. Action Medical Research have funded over £2 million of research in this area but more research is required to understand why this remains the biggest killer of under 1’s.
With your help we can achieve even more medical breakthroughs.
Please tick the Gift Aid box if you are a UK tax payer as the UK Government will then give me an additional 25% on the money that we have raised.
Thanks again
Peter
