Haha, thanks John! I don't imagine the Strava files are of much interest to non-cyclists. The evidence is all there though, just in case! Donations are still trickling in, so please do donate! My total is now £1455.50, and the team total (friends, sister, nieces) is £2670.29. Very pleasing!

Day 366 FINAL CALL FOR DONATIONS!
Hi everyone
Just an update to
round things off. Total for the leap year, 12,003.9 miles,
1,020,835 ft climbing, but more importantly, as it currently
stands, £1260.50 for the British Red Cross.
A small team of friends who
have also been riding every day for the month of April takes
our TOTAL RAISED SO FAR TO £2220.29.
I don't want to keep clogging up this list,
so this is just a final call for those of you who intended
to donate but have not got around to it yet: THERE IS STILL
TIME TO DONATE!
Many thanks
again
Penny

Hi CommPsy listers
If this plea offends as inappropriate use of
the list, it can be deleted.
I've been riding my bike for a whole leap
year and today is the last day. I've ridden 11,985.7
miles and climbed
1,019,352 feet. So all
being well today I will pass the
12,000
mile mark. You can read more of my story in the
attachment.
But I'm
doing this to highlight the desperate situation of
refugees in the world at the moment. Yesterday the UN said
the situation in Syria's city of Aleppo is
catastrophic, after dozens of people were killed in
attacks on targets including a hospital. Just last week,
the British Red Cross was part of an international
operation delivering food, medical supplies and clean
water to residents of Al Hastan, near Homs. And yet just
on Tuesday, MPs voted in Parliament to turn away 3000
Syrian refugees. These are unaccompanied refugees,
children fending for themselves. 10,000 children have
disappeared alone in Europe. Agencies say that children
are committing ‘survival sex’ they are being abused,
subject to prostitution, and rape. England alone has
approximately 1500 towns (the total for the UK is about
2000). That doesn't include villages. So that's just
2 children per town.
This is why I am raising money for the British Red Cross,
which helps people in crisis, whoever and wherever they
are.
It's not just the money but the
show of support that's important, so it can be seen
that people do care, particularly about the refugee
situation. This is what I hope anyway!
Please take just a few minutes to donate
