Having completed our first challenge on 10 July 2011, Jamie and Neil have decided to continue fundraising for Help for Heroes & Starlight charities, by static cycling in various shops across Hampshire, Wiltshire and Dorset. Jamie is also training to cycle stage 19 of the 2011 Tour de France (Modane to Alpe d'Huez) in the future. We hope to raise £20,000

All donations no matter what the size, will be graciously received and further add to our enthusiasm to raise even more money for our chosen charities. Donations can be made securely by following the links below. Thank you for your interest in our challenge, please pop back from time to time, to see our progress.

FIFTHTEEN THOUSAND POUNDS

Jamie and Neil's ongoing fundraising. We are delighted to announce that after several promotional peddles at Tescos & Waitrose stores, we have broken the £15,000 barrier raised for Help for Heroes & the Starlight Childrens Foundation. The grand total raised for these two amazing charities stands at £15,131.63. The people at these stores have been generous, sincere, fun & in some cases witty. Conversation of the day yesterday at Tesco`s Salisbury went something like this; little elderly woman asked Jamie & Neil what we were doing. When this was explained to her, she asked "What do you do when you are not fundraising". Jamie then replied " my misses". The dear little old lady could be heard giggling at the end of the car park.

On a completely different note. Stephen Magers ( Tescos Salisbury Community Champion) cycled with us yesterday. We brought in an extra bike & turbo trainer. Stephen then cycled for 3 hours. Given that he has not cycled for some time, this was a phenomenal achievement. Well done Stephen and once again, we`d like to thank you & Tescos for you invaluable support.
