Adam does London - Paris...

Postby -Adam- » Tue Jan 16, 2007 8:45 pm

From July 25th to the 29th i am going to ride from London - Paris for Action Medical Research...

Who are the UK's most forward thinking charity, and their vision is to work towards a future free from disease and disability. They work with the country's top researchers and to create a healthier future for you, your children and your childrens children.

Their most notable achievements to date include:
> crippling polio in the UK
> they were at the birth of ultrasound scanning
> they also helped to get hip replacements up and running

They are currently working on many projects including:
> premature births
> migraines
> strokes
> asthma
> dyspraxia
> parkinson's
> osteoporosis
> cerebral palsy
> spinal injuries
> epilepsy
> motor neurone disease
> chron's disease
> bronchiolitus
> alzheimer's

...And many many more!

The route is about 300miles, ridden in 4 days. Getting me to Paris on the saturday just before the tour arrives on the sunday.

I have to raise a thousand pounds minimum, of which i have managed to secure pledges for just over £800 in the last week. Due to seemingly catching everyone on a good day in the office where i was working over xmas, plus my other job at the hotel and family etc. So the agreeables was the next logical port of call!

Unfortuately i am now back at uni so wont be around on the clubruns for a while, so cant badger people face to face in the cafe...

...however, please click [url]http://www.action.org.uk/~adamjcotterell[/url]
to sponsor me online.

I believe the ride is not yet full so if anyone else fancies the challenge, go for it!

I look forward to seeing my total steadily rise, so please sponsor me!!!

Thanks,

Adam

I am the tall Simon on the suitably large Trek 1400. And I can be found in the "social group". Or if I am feeling up to it the easy 17's. I need to put in a bit of work when I get back from Oz mid April.

I wouldn't say my legs are Hulk like maybe She-Hulk like but then again her legs are still pretty buff :oops:

Yes, and I am thinking of going late morning. It should be interesting, and it will be a chance to meet some of the other riders before hand.

Shame I won't be able to squeeze the club run in too. Besides I need to get my bike fixed first, as I broke my LH shifter last Saturday. I could use a second bike, pity I am a bit strapped.

I think I will go for about 2:30ish after all. So I will probably see you up there, not that I can put your name to a face...

My bike is still OOC :cry:
