What a difference a few months make..

Earlier on this year I was all set to take part this year's charity cycle from Prague to Berlin. I've never been to Prague nor Berlin although I have been to Germany (or West Germany as it was known in those days). Last year's cycle was one of the best things I have ever done. It was a personal challenge and also a chance to visit some places I had never been to before. However, over the past few months things have changed.

Last year, during the trip, I knew that there was a chance I might not make this year's trip. My wife and I were talking about starting a family and earlier on this year it was confirmed that she was pregnant. Unfortunately, she had to take some time off from work as she wasn't feeling well but luckily now she is fine again. Anyway, it was because of this type of thing I decided that I couldn't go on this year's cycle. It's a real shame but some things are just more important.

The guys are still forging ahead and have been doing a lot of training in preparation. I know that because of the credit crunch not everyone has a lot of spare money lying around. However, if you do have a little bit of spare cash then please pledge some money to a very worthy cause. All expenses including flights, food, accommodation, etc. are met by the guys themselves. All of the money raised goes directly to CHAS.
