Thank you – we raised £100,000 for the Prostate Cancer Charity
Thank you very much for those of you who sponsored me and the team in last Sunday’s bike race from Greenwich to Canterbury, a ride of 120 miles along the route that the Tour de France took yesterday. I didn’t get near Robbie McEwan’s Tour de France time of 4 hours 39 minutes – I managed a more leisurely 8 hours 37 minutes. But then again Robbie didn’t get 3 punctures or have to ride through a filthy rainstorm, so it could have been much closer.
Most importantly, it looks as if we’ll break through the £100,000 mark for donations, of which over £55,000 has come in through the website (which we’re keeping open for a little while longer). Thanks again – the money raised is likely to go towards funding a couple of full time prostate cancer nurses. And enjoy the next three weeks of the Tour de France!
The value of investments will fluctuate, which will cause prices to fall as well as rise and you may not get back the original amount you invested. Past performance is not a guide to future performance.
