PAGE CREATOR:	John Faulkner
EVENT:	Paris to Dakar 7,200 cycle race
EVENT DATE:	06/09/2009

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

In 2007 I competed in the 2nd edition of the Paris to Dakar from the boardwalks of Paris to the searing heat of the desert,from 1st world conditions to camping amongest minefields it was so cool I am going back!

The hills are forgotten so to the heat, scorpions and stomach complaints and the unchewable camel stew.

I'll do all the hard work; train for and complete this event, but I really need your help to make a difference to my charity and the children of the Dakar Village.

I was absolutely in awe of what was being achieved at the Village with little money but a huge amount of love.

Please could you sponsor me?

SOS Childrens Villages have agreed that all sponsored funds will go directly to the Dakar Village in Senegal

I cover all associated race/travel costs.

Many thanks for your support

Unfortunately I have had to pull out of the race due to a dispute over the race rules or rather the lack of ethics of the race organizers - check out the blog for more details.My sincere apologies to those that have donated already.
