John O'Groats to Land's End 2010

Alright, so here I go again...
This time I won’t be riding by myself, and basically I will be supporting one man’s idea, initiative and determination by joining him and 25 or more cyclists in a group ride from John O’Groats to Lands End (hence the name JOGLE 2010), or in other words from the most northern point to the most southern piece of land in the United Kingdom.
The idea was created from James Bowthorpe who last year broke the world record for cycling around the world in 174 days. James has raised 120 thousand pounds so far for a project run by the Institute of Psychiatry in London called What’s Driving Parkinson, for what he has worked and volunteered for over 3 years now. The project is trying to find a cure for Parkinson’s Disease and it’s extremely underfunded, so James has set himself a target of 1,8 million pounds... not an easy task indeed!
I’ll be joining him for this ride, and as the other 25 riders, my aim is to raise 1000 pounds for this project. So together, we can put together over 25 grand in just one week.
As James is doing (getting people together so that each of one us can raise a little money to achieve the big target) I would like that apart from donating (that you can do easily t at www.justgiving.com/fonziesjogle2010 ) and contributing to my participation in this event, you help me (or the cause) passing this information to as many people as you can and as actively as you can, help us getting more people together so I can reach my target of 1000 pounds and we can help James achieving his goal. You can help not only donating, but also getting more people to donate, finding any sponsors, creating more awareness about this project, and making more people find other supporters.
The event will run from September the 5th to the 12th, 1600 km in 8 days, so I’m hoping we can put together at least the 1000 pounds by the time we finish the ride.
Get yourself involved. Support this good cause as you can, and think of it not as something I am doing, think of it as we together doing something good for others.
I’ll be updating our progress through my blog www.fonziesride.blogspot.com and you can follow me on twitter @fonziesride. There’s also a website of the event that you can check out on www.jogle2010.org.
Cheers,
Fonzie and the Jogle 2010 crew.
