Welcome to my charity event website. The purpose of
the site is to publicise this year's great charity fundraising effort that I've
entitled, Defeating England. Briefly (in words,
and not I expect, effort) this will entail cycling the length of England (or
Berwick to Land's End) in
just over a week this summer in aid of my chosen charity Defeating
Deafness.
The reason for the choice of charity is that it is
the UK’s only national charity dedicated to helping hearing-impaired people
through medical research and education. The charity exists to secure radical
improvements in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of all forms of hearing
impairment. My primary personal interest is that my daughter was born with
hearing on one side only. The personal
interest in the charity gives an added incentive to go the extra mile, or
indeed, miles...
This year's effort follows a number of others I have
undertaken in the past years, described hereabouts on other pages. Having
successfully tackled the London marathon , London to Brighton Bike ride
(twice) and the three highest peaks in mainland Britain in 24 hours (the 3
Peaks Challenge) , I have tried to find
something a little more challenging to warrant another call on sponsorship from
friends, family, colleagues and strangers!!
The task will be outlined and detailed on the attached pages as I plan it.
I have now found a mechanism for those who
visit the site to sponsor me. If
you would like to sponsor me the 570ish miles, please visit the justgiving
website.
However, listed below are the contents hyperlinks! ... hooray!!!
