[BDG]

In August (either the first or third week) i am attempting to ride the length of the country end to end in a day on a Multistrada to raise money for the following charities.

Francis House Hospice for Children in Manchester
Charity number 294354

and

Motor Neurone Disease Association
Charity number 328659

My company will cover the running costs so all proceeds will be split evenly between the charities. In addition to help stimulate interest from all my clients and suppliers i'm also offering a free meal for 2 at a top restaurant (upto £200) for the person who guessses the actual distance i actually ride from end to end.

I realise that we are all bombarded with charitable requests on a regular basis but if anyone in the club would like to make a donation or wants to win a meal (not neccesarily in Manchester) i would be very grateful.

If you want to contribute I need the follwing info:

NAME/COMPANY NAME
TELEPHONE NUMBER OR EMAIL
MILEAGE ESTIMATE
PLEDGE/DONATION

either by fax to 0161 872 4440
email: shaun@speedcouriers.co.uk or
smerrick@fsbdial.co.uk

or post to Speed Couriers (Charity Ride)
54 Westbrook Road
Trafford Park
Manchester
M17 1AY

or pay directly onto this bank account

Obviously i appreciate most people will prefer to pay after the event but i'm only supplying these details now too try and reduce some of the administration.

MANY THANKS

p.s. I would just like to say a big thank you to Woods Motorcycles, Ducati UK, and JHP/Ducati Coventry for their assistance.
