Charity Triplet Challenge
www.charitytripletchallenge.co.uk
We have agreed to sponsor this event (along with some other names, large and small!) as a result of the following email received from Nik on 18th April this year.
For more information on what WE are doing see: www.spoff.co.uk/how-we-are-helping-g.asp
"I am hoping you may be able to help us on our adventure. We will be cycling very close to your premises and wondered if we can help you with any advertising as we still have some spaces left on our shirts. We also thought of Spoff as it has a great name and we will be eating plenty of cereal on route for energy.
For two weeks in July 2005 we are cycling from John O'Groats to Lands End on a triplet a bike made for 3 As you can imagine we are up for a laugh and we would be willing to take part in any publicity event on route as long as our chosen charities benefit. Our route takes us on loads of roads and through plenty of villages and towns - even the centre of Glasgow and Liverpool. In training everyone we see can not help but stop and stare and give encouragement.
We are also getting interest from local press and radio which we will expand on route and hopefully go national and on our return we are having an exhibition in the local art gallery. We have started a web site www.charitytripletchallenge.co.uk where you can see more details of the route.
This is our first attempt at such an event and we are hoping to raise a lot of money for the 3 different charities which are:
Macmillan cancer relief (charity no 261017)- A UK charity that works to improve the quality of life for people living with cancer.
The National Society For Phenylketonuria (UK) Ltd (charity no 273670)- PKU affects 1 in 10000 children and if not treated would cause brain damage. This can be prevented by a highly specialist diet and the NSPKU exists to assist parents and sufferers and promote research.
Russ Appeal -(Air Ambulance (charity no 1084910)) - An appeal formed by a mountain biker who needed help from a charity that rescues people from places regular ambulances can not reach."
