...from me this evening. Not a craft related post, but, something that I don't usually do. Just to let my lovely blog friends know about the Ride Across Britain. A lot of crazy people are cycling from The Southern most tip of the U.K to John O'Groats in Scotland - 960 Miles! In my book, a very long way! By car it would be...a very long way! It is going to take these brave (foolish!) cyclists 8 Days to get from A to B.
My Husband is one of these mad fools - sorry, I mean brave people! He is raising money for The Great Ormond Street Charity for Children, a very worthy cause. I have called these cyclists 'Brave', but of course, the real bravery is shown by the children and parents that need the services of Great Ormond Street Hospital.
As a parent, I cannot imagine anything worse in my life than having a very sick child. I count my blessings every day that our children are healthy and happy.
So, I am asking my lovely blog friends, if you have a spare 5 minutes and a spare £5 or $5, please could you help David reach his goal of raising £500 for this wonderful charity? He is almost there, and I and the children are missing him very much indeed, but I know he is doing something he loves for a very good cause.
Here is his page, if you have time:

Thanks for listening,

You're quite right Pauline - it makes me go cold to think of my children being hospitalised. Off to donate now! Vicky x
Hi Pauline - I'm glad you realise David is absolutely mad! But mad in such a good way. Hope he reaches his target and exceeds it too. Wishing him the best!
WOW Pauline! You should be so proud of your hubby! That is so awesome and for such a great cause! The most I have ever ridden in one day is 100 miles and it was for the Diabetes Foundation. I sure hope he reaches his goal and stays healthy along the way :)
Oh way to go David!! Very much admire what he's doing - that is such a LONG way!! Although it seems like madness, it's totally brilliant at the same time! Well done to him - hope he makes it back safely!
Pauline, I think what your husband is doing is wonderful! I know he loves to cycle, but just over 100 miles a day is amazing! x
