Northwest Vision and Media Sponsored Bike Ride to Paris

Last Thursday, 2 members of staff from Northwest Vision and Media completed a gruelling 3 day bike ride from London to Paris, to raise money for CamKids. This is one of the fundraising events which Northwest Vision and Media have organised during 2008, after selecting CamKids as their charity of the year. Here is Lynsey's report:

Here's the proof that Alice and I didn't just sneak off to do some shopping on the Champs-Élysées. We did three long days in the saddle, setting off from South London on Thursday morning and finally arriving at the Arc de Triomphe at 7:00pm on Saturday.

Thanks again for all your support and encouraging texts along the way and of course for your sponsor money. Our current total stands at £1,648 which is well over our original target and we still have a few last minute pledges to add. So all those aches and pains (and my new found addiction to ibuprofen) now seem worthwhile.

Thanks again!

Lynsey

Lynsey and Alice's total is now over £2,000, including Gift Aid - enough to educate 800 children at ETO school - a fantastic result. If you would like to add to Lynsey and Alice's sponsorship total, visit their JustGiving page:
