Please check out the note below from my good friend Dave Smith at Clif Bar.
Looks a great challenge - supporting a great cause.
This stands out as a great opportunity to support a sponsored race - much better than those naff 5k Race for Life races....
Between Wednesday 15th and Saturday 25th September 2010 twelve of us will be cycling fromBrighton to Barcelona to raise money for St Barnabas Hospice in Worthing. We will be cycling between 70 and 100 miles approximately per day and the total distance covered will be over 830 miles. The route will take us from Brighton to Barcelona via Portsmouth, St Malo, east of Nantes, Bordeaux, over the Pyrenees into Spain and onto Barcelona. We will arrive in Barcelona at the Christopher Columbus monument on the 25th September (hopefully).
None of the group who are taking this challenge are long distance cyclists; we are simply a group of friends who want to do something worthwhile to try to make a difference.
We have set up a website through which we can keep people updated on how our training and planning is going, which can be found at www.brightontobarcelona.co.uk
So, if you can, please dig deep and sponsor whatever you can afford. It’s going to be a tough challenge but it will really help me along knowing that I have the backing of you all. You can donate via the website or by going directly to our just giving page http://www.justgiving.com/
One of our sponsors is a company called AJ Walter has agreed to give us £1k for every £4k we raise, so we really need your help to get this extra sponsorship. Please tell your friends and family about what we are doing too.
Less than 40 days to go so I’d better go off now and do some more training!
Thanks for listening and for your support.
Cheers
