I got my act together last night and emailed (almost) everyone I could think of about the Fireflies Ride. Every rider is set a target of £2,000 in individual sponsorship in addition to his/her entry fee.
It's for a good and personally relevant cause, but I was staggered by the response this morning – nearly half way to my total, including Gift Aid. People are very kind and so supportive – as I remember well from the Malawi ride three years ago.
So... THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH! I'm aiming to reply to everyone personally if I can keep track of all the emails. Just the thought of so much support must be worth a lot on those climbs....
