I am on my way to another £2,000.00.

Hello there.

You have arrived at this page because one way or another, I have persuaded you to sponsor me for the massive challenge I have set myself that is to cycle the length of the UK. In May 2011 I will ride from 'Lands End' to 'John O'Groats', crossing three countries, totalling 1000 miles and throwing in a gruelling 40,000ft of vertical accent for good measure. To put that in perspective its the equivalent of cycling from London to Brighton and back again everyday for 9 days straight (but with lots more hills). In order to achieve this, I will be doing everything I can to prepare myself physically and mentally but I can't do it without your support.

I have a target of £2000 to raise which will go to help Action Medical Research continue their great work improving the health of babies and children in the UK. For almost 60 years the charity has been behind numerous breakthroughs such as the UK polio vaccine, ultrasound scanning in pregnancy, and more recently the fetal heart rate monitor, a new state-of-the-art device that could help save thousands of at-risk babies.

Through sponsoring me, you will also be supporting the Touching Tiny Lives appeal which is raising funds to help reduce premature birth and improve care of sick and vulnerable babies. Your support will help continue this potentially life-saving work.

Please tick the Gift Aid box if you are a UK tax payer as the UK Government will contribute an additional 25% on the money that I have raised.

I'm sure you'll agree this charity is a just cause, and I would love to smash the £2000 target. So please give what you can and I thank you ever so much in advance,

Tom Mesquitta.
