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
