Default I need your help...

18 months ago I embarked on this journey with just one fixed goal in mind - to compete in the London to Brighton bike ride. It's a 54 mile ride and it's the first active thing I have ever done in my life.

Please if you can afford it would you consider donating to this wonderful cause that affects so many of us.

Oh and just on a sidenote - if you can afford to sponsor me then please can you not mention anywhere on there about my surgery as I only told my family - noone else and of course there will be all sorts of peeps accessing my website.

Thanks a million - love ya all!

Hi

I have just made a donation to your worthy cause and I hope you do well. I am sorry it was only £10 but I thought it might help.

Good luck I think you look amazing in your photo and well done on the weight loss I have to say you do inspire me so much

Take care Dianne

Bless you Dianne - thank you so much for doing that - £10 is plenty! Every bit helps get me towards that target of saving a life.

You are a star!

We made a little donation too! It's a great charity and we are so proud of you!!
I was thinking it might be difficult to make an international donation, but it was really easy. They take credit cards so all it took was a few clicks.

Please post pictures from the ride and ...
Ride like the wind!!!!

I am so sorry I can't make a donation right now

I'm still on disability ... I'm just now actively looking for a job, but am incredibly broke right now.

I wish you the best of luck and think what you are doing is absolutely wonderful!
I'm hoping the next time you participate, I'll be able to help!

-Julie.

Thank you so much Mr Squishy! And of course Mrs Squishy! Your sponsorship means so much to me - not only for the great work it will do in saving lives but also for the confidence that it shows you have in me!

I promise to eat lots of chilli the night before so that I can ride like the wind! Tee hee

Bless you both.

Thank you so much paige and your darling hubby. Tell him I'll be making sure I have my vegemite for breakfast to keep me going - it's wonder food! I wonder if it'll get me 54 miles!?

Awww, seriously don't worry about it at all Julie - I know times are tough for a lot of people out there right now.

Thank you for taking the time to wish me luck though! I'll make sure to get plenty of pics for everyone.
