Just curious

[ClockworkOrange]

Just curious if there are any other people on this site who just might be entering the LONDON BIKEATHON for Leukaemia Research on 13 July 08.

I realise most of you guys are from the US but I occasionally see the odd one or two from England.

Don't care, don't care, wanna show off, so far I have raised $1660 plus $366 Gift Aid.

Anyway, if there are any out there, be good to hear from you. :)

Cheers.

Many thanks for your comments Trekhawk.

Very often that is all somebody needs, is just a good comment.

There are so many people doing various things to raise money for so many charities, so I do not expect people on this site to sponsor me. If they do, it really blows me away, somebody giving who I do not even know!

I received a lovely PM this morning from Possegal...........part of PM
Your sponsorship is INTERNATIONAL, very cool.

Now, that's what I call a really fabulous comment. ;)

So, where else can I shout from the roof tops but here. Apart from my partner my friends do not understand my biking thing, they understand I have not been well and for that reason alone, cannot understand why I must ride my bike!

Quite by accident I came across the following link: http://www.justgiving.com/LondonBikeathon?from=UKSponsorExit

Just what I want, more encouragement to brag.

TODAY I HIT................yes, £1000 or $2000. I am so chuffed, all this in only 3 weeks.

OK, to all those out there who feel they have never really achieved much, and I consider myself one of those..........IT CAN BE DONE!

This site is brilliant, it really brings the best out in people.......I wanna move to the US.

Cheers. ;)

Wish I could - I coach for TNT which is the US fundraiser for Leukemia Society of America - I have been involved with them since 1999. Our event this year is the Death Ride in California.

Mostly I wanted to echo the other posters and say Congrats! on your fundraising!! Our family has done a lot of fundraising for the Leukemia Society - great organization and cause.

Have fun!

Hey, sneaky beaky.................BUT I have discovered who the mysterious name was on my fundraising page this morning!

My, was I confused at seeing the name maillotpois.

What a lovely surprise to wake up to this morning, it means even more when it comes from a complete stranger. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2155/2328279287_88a8d50d8e_o.gif

Thank you so very very much.

Just a passing comment for any of you guys who are doing sponsored/charity rides, it can pay off writing to either big companies or a well known individual.

Where I live there is a very expensive area, Sandbanks, it also has the largerst natural harbour in Europe. Anyway, there is a guy who is a millionaire, into property development, one of these local lads made good. (No, I do not live that close to this area unfortunately). :o

He frequently annoys a lot of people because he buys up really nice 4 -5 bedroomed houses in an expensive area, knocks them down then builds a rather amazing property in it's place.

Anyway, I was more than grateful when he sponsored me for $200.

So, always try the old fashioned thing of writing a letter.
