Paris to Barclona – par velo!
On June 24th 2009 my partner and I will set off to cycle from Paris to cycle to Barcelona. Our route will take us 1500 kilometers south from Paris, down the Loire into the centre of France, before heading south west towards the Pyrenees and meeting with the Tour de France as it crosses the mountains back into France from Spain.
Partly a long held ambition, partly inspired by the journeys of Mark Beaumont and James Baxter this trip will be a challenge for both of us. We are asking our friends, families and clients to sponsor us in aid of WaterAid. Access to safe, clean water is one of the most basic of human needs and it will be inspiring to think we will be contributing towards their work. It might also remind us to stay properly hydrated!
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: WaterAid gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
