Hi guys,

Me and a few mates of mine from work are doing a sponsored bike ride in aid of a charity called Bikes 4 Africa. Here's the blurb:

Many African children live in remote communities, a long way from their nearest school. Without reliable, affordable, motorised transport the only way these children get to school is to walk. In searing heat, their journey to education on foot is a daily epic mission.

Having a bicycle makes a world of difference for these children, and for their families and communities too. To this end, bikes4Africa reconditions donated bicycles and delivers them from the UK to African schools...

... so, we have decided to take part to do our bit to help. Please dig deep and donate now. We will do the hard work!!!

Specifically, the hard work is a 12 hour relay bike ride from 8PM to 8AM, i.e. through the night. We are hoping to raise at least £1000 and i'd really appreciate it if you could help us achieve that.

Many thanks!
