Charity Bike Ride - Ataxia Spring Classic

[RichieJohn]

Hi guys and girls,

 

This is my first post here. Sorry for posting asking for money but we could do with some help.

 

My wife and my brother-in-law both have a disease called Friedreich's ataxia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedreich's_ataxia

 

It's not very fun! It's an inherited condition that progressively damages the nervous system and usually leads to significantly reduced mobility and reduces life expectancy.

 

It's the second year of the Ataxia spring classic, a charity bike ride to raise money for Ataxia UK. I'm getting off my fat arse to do the 20 mile ride, my Dad and my Brother are doing the 55 mile ride. 

 

Now that I've bummed everyone out here's the link to the Just Giving page for donations http://www.justgiving.com/JohnRichTurner-AtaxiaUK

 

We need a minimum of £100 each but we're struggling to get there so any donations would really help.

 

Thanks for reading,

 

Rich

Fuck it, I'm feeling charitable!

FYI this isn't a scam, just giving sends the money directly to the charity and the charity looks legit

Thank you very much. It's no scam. They do a lot of research and they helped pay for my wife's wheelchair.
