Paul heard on the radio that a charity bike ride was being organised and thought we should sign up. It was for a fantastic charity, Maggie's Centres. These are homely facilities which are located next to NHS hospitals and help people adjust to living with cancer.
We logged onto Maggie's webpage and discovered that the bike ride was in fact a 73 mile Monster Bike and Hike, which should be completed in under 24 hours. not quite the 10k bike ride that we were expecting!!
No bother to us, so we sent off the registration fee and a couple of days later we got confirmation that our application was successful. Awe Naw! D-Day 5th May 2007.
A fundraising website was quickly set up at a brilliant site http://www.justgiving.com/jakenpaul .
Emails duly sent out and the money has come flooding in. We had an initial target of £800 between us but this had to be quickly raised to £1000 thanks to our early donors.
Time to get fit....
The Proof is in the Medal
