Scottish Elises

Hi Guys,

I MUST BE MAD...its going to be cold, wet and sore!! We have managed to persuade 15 mugs/dedicated souls to cycle in November from the West coast of Scotland (Oban area) to St Andrews in the east over two days….Over 170 miles. None of us are dedicated cyclists or spandex wearers in public so this will be a real challenge. Please give generously as we wont be able to walk for weeks after!! Not to mention a distinct lack of training, so it isn’t going to be enjoyable!

Donating through the site below is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us. Yorkhill Children's Foundation will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Any company donations through businesses would be really appreciated, send a cheque made out to Yorkhill Children’s Foundation, or go through the website provided, to pay by card.

Please email this link to your friends, work colleagues, ask your bosses for sponsorship. If you can't give through credit card payment, please send cheques or postal orders made out to 'Yorkhill Childrens Foundation' to Gowrie Growers, Kingswell, Longforgan, Dundee DD2 5HJ ( mark for ''Yorkhill Childrens Foundation'' on the envelope).

Please sponsor us now. We want to see the £5000 here before we suffer!!

Thank you for your generosity and for supporting the children helped by the Yorkhill Children's Foundation.

Many Thanks,

David
