MENCAP Grand Canyon Cycle Ride
As you’d expect, experiencing the tsunami in the Maldives has had an impact. I’ve resolved to have more fun and help more people and the MENCAP Grand Canyon Cycle Ride in September seems the best way to start.
I need to raise a minimum of £3,000 on top of the £2,000 odd I expect to find myself for related expenses, kit etc.. To incentivise people to donate I've decided to… kinda… strip… tastefully.
Carole’s Virtual Bike Trek / Strip for a Cause:
Virtual Carole will trek by bike from the very cold to the very, very hot according to the donations given on a secure internet site. In the virtual world cycling in the cold takes lots of thick, warm clothes, while the only way to cycle in the virtual desert will be to wear very little at all.....
I’ll start the tour when online donations hit £250 and will change the photograph to reflect the increasing heat of the virtual world 10 times - once for every £500 raised. Online donations go directly to MENCAP through JustGiving.com and attract Gift Aid (a tax rebate that adds 28% to the money that goes to MENCAP).
I'm also offering a great package for corporate entities who would like to gain from the publicity, so please let me know of the contact details of anyone you know in the corporate world in charge of charitable donations..
MENCAP is a great charity that works hard on behalf of the learning disabled. Please help them – and me. Give… anything you can…
You can check up on me through my bike blog, donate, or see my virtual progress at www.webwandering.com/bikeblog.htm
Thanks!
