Miles for Amanda's Smile

In August and September 2010, both I, and my great friend Dave Bentley - supported by Colin Nadin -  are planning to undertake two gruelling physical challenges in order to raise funds for CRY.

On August 8th we will be taking part in the London Triathlon! This is a multi sport event which comprises a 1.5km swim, a 40km bike ride and a 10km run.

 

This takes part in London Docklands and is televised so please cheer along to the TV when you see our CRY shirts go by.

 

Then just a few weeks later we will be setting off on a 900 mile plus bike ride from Lands' End to John O’Groats.

 

Our route (which I will publish in full before the event) will allow us to visit two trees that I have had planted as living memorials for Amanda - one on the Somerset/Devon border and one in the Lake District.

 

Here we will stop and remember all the great times we had with Amanda, and also reflect on how, in her memory we can help other families who may be struggling to cope with the crushing loss of a child or young adult! (see also www.c-r-y.org.uk/mccarthy_my_story.htm)

 

Contributions would be most helpful to CRY, and can be made by visiting:

Or please send a cheque payable to Mr P McCarthy (fundraising number 8/336)

A Facebook page for these events has been set up for people to leave messages or accounts of their own experience, and to offer advice or support at:

A twitter page will also go live detailing our training ups and downs! Sign up at Twitter.com and follow us at @CRY_cycles

 

Thank you all so much for your help and support.
