The £1 Challenge!

Hi all

My cousin Steve is taking part in the British Heart Foundation's London to Southend bike ride on 19 July 2009 and, having discovered that only 30% of people who take part raise money for the charity, he has set himself the mammoth task of raising 1 million pounds (comprising 1 million unique donations of just £1 each) in just four months. Crazy? Probably, but I reckon he can do it! :D

To donate your £1, please visit Steve's website at http://www.1poundchallenge.co.uk/. By clicking the DONATE YOUR £1 NOW button you will be redirected to a donation page on the British Heart Foundation's website, for whom all the money is being raised. It only takes £1 and a few minutes of your time!

Further details can be found on Steve's Facebook page:

Thanks for your support! :D

    what a good idea - was looking at doing the bike ride myself with daughter who lives in London but after looking at the website looks like the london marathon but on bikes. Ill donate - hubby suffers from angina and had a heart attack.
