Dear All,
I hope you don’t mind me approaching you with a begging bowl but I am looking for sponsors for a Challenge I am undertaking later this year. Twenty years ago my cousin had a kidney transplant and to mark the occasion he is going to cycle from Walney Island, on the west coast, to Whitby, on the east coast, a distance of 171 miles over the course of 3 days. In a moment of madness, probably induced by drink, I and various other members of the family have agreed to accompany him. We will be setting off from Walney on Saturday 29th May and (hopefully!) arriving in Whitby on Monday 31st May.
I hope that you or your firm would consider sponsoring me. All the money raised will go to Kidney Research UK. You can sponsor online at http://www.kidneyresearchukevents.org/w2w This webpage covers all 10 people who are attempting the challenge so, if you do use it, please could you put my initials in brackets after your name. Alternatively you can simply email the details to me at graeme.roberts@wflms.co.uk
If you would like more details about the actual journey you can go to http://www.cyclingw2w.info
Many thanks in anticipation of your support,
Graeme Roberts
Wirral Club Chairman
