Event: London to Paris 2009
Date of event: 22 July 2009
Hi,
Thank you for visiting my sponsorship page.
On 22nd of July, I am hoping to cycle from London to Paris arriving in Paris on the 25th July. This averages out at about 80 miles a day with the first day covering 90 miles. At the moment, I have just started my training and am cycling to work in London and back totalling 26 miles a day. So the thought of 90 miles on that first day is wearing me out just thinking about it!!
I am raising money for Action Medical Research, a great charity that funds pioneering medical research.
For nearly 60 years, it has been involved with numerous breakthroughs such as ultrasounds 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 into research into premature birth. Action Medical Research have funded over £4 million of research in this area but more research is required to understand why this remains the biggest killer of under one year olds.
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 I have raised.
With very many thanks.
To date I've raised £255.00 total online. In addition to this, the government's Gift Aid Scheme has raised a further £63.75
Please help me reach my target of £1,200.00.
