Richard Warren's Charity Blog: January 2013

Intro

A couple of years ago, my nephew Ben was born with Cystic Fibrosis, one of the UK's most common life-threatening inherited diseases which affects over 9000 people in the UK, including five new babies every week. It affects the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system, clogging them with thick sticky mucus which makes it hard to breathe and digest food.

To raise funds for the CF Trust, I took on the Nightrider 2012 challenge, a 100km cycle ride through London at night! and raised over £1600.

I'm now tackling the Oxford to Cambridge bike ride in September 2013, this time for the British Heart Foundation, another charity that means a lot to me.

I'd be very grateful if you would sponsor me for this challenge at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/rew. All funds raised go to charity.

The Next Challenge

So, after last year's 100km Nightrider, I've agreed to a new challenge this year. On 28th September I'm going to do the Oxford to Cambridge bike ride. This is 90 miles (just over 140km), organised by the British Heart Foundation which is a charity I'm quite keen on. I don't feel I can ask everyone to sponsor me again, but if you'd like to do so then please go to my fundraising page at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/rew. Anything you can spare will go to a very worth cause. So, I'd better do some more training, but not quite yet!
