Some extremely dear friends of mine are taking part in a charity fundraiser that is well worth your attention - The Kent Air Ambulance Cycle Cuba Challenge.
As part of Kent Air Ambulance Trust's 20th Anniversary year, a team of 31 cyclists including 8 members of staff and crew from the trust have signed up for the challenge of a life time - cycling 350 kilometres over 5 days from the Bay of Pigs, famed for the US aggression on Cuba in 1961, through towns and villages to Trinidad, a World Heritage Site, before finishing the ride in the Bay of Cienfuegos.
Air Ambulances shouldn't have to rely on public goodwill to survive. In todays society of multi-car families and the traffic on the roads a fast, mobile, airborne solution like the Air Ambulance is a must. Without these men and women who take to the air on a daily basis people would die. Morbid, but true.
Please, please visit http://www.justgiving.com/cyclecuba2010 and donate just a pound or two. They will even accept dollars or euro's or even probably sheckles if you have them. Be a giver.
Take a look at http://cyclecuba.info for lots of information.
