Dr Who? Posted 16 July, 2013 Share Posted 16 July, 2013 Hi all, As a true Saint I am doing my annual cycle and good deed for charity. This year I will be cycling 60 miles from London to Cambridge for Down's Syndrome. This year I have only set up the page a week and half before the event, on Sunday 28th July, as I do not want to hassle everyone, or keep a post like this on the main board. The page will be open until 2 weeks after the event. http://www.justgiving.com/kevinandben Please give if you can. Thanks Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm Posted 17 July, 2013 Share Posted 17 July, 2013 Good luck and I hope you achieve your target! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 18 July, 2013 Author Share Posted 18 July, 2013 Thsnk you norm. Please give if you can. It is for my work colleague Ben, that I am doing this. It has been a tough learning curve for him. It is hard enough becoming a first time parent and I cannot imagine how difficult this must be for him and his wife. Just doing the saintly thing.....

Dr Who? Posted 18 July, 2013 Author Share Posted 18 July, 2013 Nice one. How do you get back? I live near Cambridge, and Ben lives half way between Cambridge and Peterborough. It is the getting up early and getting to London that is the main issue! oh and the cycling bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isla Wight Posted 19 July, 2013 Share Posted 19 July, 2013 Beautiful picture of Mara. My Grand daughter turned 1 this week is delightful. Really hope that you meet or surpass your target - after all, plenty on this forum who have saved £50 by boycotting the new shirt lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is fantastic to see your children grow up, but I cannot imagine how much harder it would be to deal with Down's. Yes but the money for the shirt goes to the club, which in all fairness is something closer to most people's hearts on here. Next year 3 cities, perhaps for a Saints related fund......

Sheaf Saint Posted 23 July, 2013 Share Posted 23 July, 2013 Done mate - £10 donation to a worthy cause. Best of luck with it. I did a 60-mile ride between Leeds and Sheffield a few years ago and was shockingly under-prepared for it. Needless to say, I will be undertaking a fair bit more training when I (hopefully) attempt the Trans-Pennine Trail coast-to-coast ride this autumn. I'll be doing it for Mind so I'll share my justgiving page when it's all confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did London to Brighton last September and took on the beacon and just about won. I loved that and raised £1,000 for childhood first. It felt amazing to do it and to raise so much for charity. May look into the one you are doing as it sounds fun! Next spring I want to do the 3 cities London, Netherlands down into Belgium. Not sure who to do that for but might do something for a local charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
