It was hot!


Greetings from Spain, I completed the 55 mile bike ride on Sunday 19th June, two days after leaving my job at Groundwork. It was officially the hottest day in London since 1976 so our team did not rush. While we may not have broken any records with 7 and a half hours to get to Brighton, I am proud to say I was one of a tiny minority of 27,000 plus who managed the big hill at the end.

I have raised $2,106 (actually it is pounds, but there is no sign on my Spanish keyboard), and a big thank you once again to friends, family and complete strangers for your very generous sponsorship. I will be arriving in Bolivia in late July and more details will appear here on how the money is being spent.

If anyone wants to add to this sponsorship total (I am tasked with raising approximately 50K more for the charity), I will not complain!! Contact me and I will let you know how to tranfer funds, a small amount of money goes a very long way in Bolivia.
