The Etape du Tour 2011, Mon 11 July - please sponsor
Hi,
I think some of you know that I rode the etape last year (before I was a member of CCA!) and managed to raise a bit of money for the MS Society. The team I rode with, managed to raise over £80 000.
This year Ive been asked to ride as part of the BT (British Telecom) Challenge Team to raise money for 2 charities, Cancer Research UK and ChildLine.
As I'm sure you are aware, this year the Etape is taking place on the 11th July in the Alps and finishes atop the iconic LAlpe dHuez, with its 21 hairpin bends taking you to the summit at 1850m. In between the start in Modane Valfrejus, the 109km route also takes in (and goes over!) the 1566m Col du Telegraphe and the monstrous Col du Galibier at 2556m.
May I call upon your generosity and ask that you dig as deep as you can to help me raise a stack of money for these two very worthwhile charities. I've set up two just giving pages, to make it easy.
Feel free to chose your charity to support or chose both if youre feeling particularly generous.
