Charity bike ride: sponsors pliz!

I'm doing a sponsored 30 mile bike ride on 13 October arranged by work to raise money for cancer research, I intend to set up a just giving account so I can be sponsored by family, friends etc without having to go knocking on doors and was wondering if you would allow me to post a link on here? It's not a sponsorship by mile, just an amount anyone can give as even one pound makes a difference. Pictures will be posted to show how it went etc. If you'd rather not have this on the forum then I can assure you no offence at all will be taken :)
Thanks Cress

Thats cool man, no worries, its not much of a donation though, sorry.
Be sure you dont use any of your sponsership proceeds to sort out personal bills for the month though, yeah. :o :lol:

Lol it's a more than generous donation mate :) .... I know your household bill comment is tongue in cheek but for those that haven't heard of just giving the donations go straight to cancer relief once you donate. It saves me collecting money plus you can choose the tax relief and a fiver for example turns into 7.50 to chosen charity :)

Cycle ride completed today, over 1500 pounds raised for cancer relief. Many thanks to those that took the time to sponsor me. I've uploaded some photos to my just giving page which can be found on link in original post. Should anyone have a spare pound then I'm leaving page open for a while hint hint lol
