Sponsorship Request


I’m looking for some support.
I’m part of the NEL team participating in the Maggie’s Monster Bike and Hike. This is a 30 mile cross country cycle from Fort William to Fort Augustus in the Scottish Highlands followed by a “10 mile” hike ( the event says 8 miles, but the route when plotted is closer to 10 because they keep us off the road and have a nasty switchback) to the Bronze finish at Invermoriston. That’s the plan. I do have the option of continuing for another 12 miles or even a whopping 33 more miles for the Silver and Gold finishing points as some of the rest of the team are doing.
This is all happening on the weekend of 30 April and is in aid of the Maggies Cancer Caring Centres which do a wonderful job supporting cancer sufferers and their families.
Here comes the point -  I am looking for sponsorship. We each have to raise at least £400. As I cannot physically accost you guys for sponsorship, as I’m doing to anyone who comes near me, I am asking that you go to our Just Giving website (http://www.justgiving.com/tuvnel-2011) and make a donation.
As we are competitive, I ask that you mention me in the comment that you leave – I get credited with your donation.
If you are a UK taxpayer please tick the Gift Aid box as Maggies can recover the tax you have already paid and add it to your donation.
Please donate on the website. Via paypal or credit card. Any amount – it all helps.
