The Challenge

This September I am taking part in a Charity Bike Challenge 2009 - London to Geneva over 10 days.  You can sign up to take part or if you’d like to help me while sitting back in your armchair, safe in the knowledge that I am in huge amounts of pain, you can show your support through donation.

We will be riding an average of 50 miles a day over ten days.  This act of pure madness on my part is because I’m doing it for something I believe in and I hope you will show your support through your kind donations.

A little bit about the Trust

I’ve recently become a trustee of an awesome charity based in the UK.  For over ten years Green Standards has been taking office furniture and IT equipment destined for landfill in the UK and US and turning it into schools, education and health centres around the world. We work with a range of charities and individuals and have helped build over 150 schools across the world.

Help me get there

I very rarely even get on a bike since I got knocked off one many years ago and I am not the *ahem* healthiest of individuals.  You may know that when it comes to exercise I need all the encouragement I can get and if it must take the form of your hard earned pounds and pence, then so be it!

Keeping you posted

I’ll be keeping you up to date with the challenge with regular posts, photos and videos. I’m also nominating the hashtag #L2G09 - so you can keep track of the action with hashtags.org.

So go on, sponsor an unhealthy lay-about to get on her bike
