Raising funds for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance (again) :-)

Post by Ros »

Last year I took part in the London 100, although I was fortunate enough to gain a place in the ballot, it seemed crazy to me to do something like the London 100 and not raise funds for charity. With the generosity of those who gave money, I raised £630. This got me thinking....this year I celebrate my 60th birthday, besides the usual celebrations with a big birthday, why not set another cycle challenge? I decided to try to complete 6 x 100 mile rides, again raising funds for the YAA. YAA relies totally on charitable donations, they receive no Government funding. Can I ask if you would donate/sponsor me to complete each 100 mile ride that I take on? Each ride that I hope to complete is listed in the 'my story' section of the just giving page. Many thanks Ros.

Oops forgot to update this after Pocklington Pedal Challenge.... :shock:
4th ride in the challenge was Pocklington Pedal Challenge, lovely day and a great ride knocking half an hour of my previous PPC timing.
5th ride yesterday 3 Bridges challenge ride. Fab ride with a great group of cyclists. I've put the photo that I took onto Clifton's facebook page, if you are not on FB and would like a copy of the photo, pm me your name and email address and I'll mail you a copy.
If you would like to donate to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, you can do so by sponsoring me to complete this challenge on the link below. Thank you so much to those who have donated so far :D
