We feel that it is fantastic that he is paying for the hidden costs of the journey: ferry, support and accommodation. This means that all the sponsoring he will get will go to help the research. Here is some of what he said on his justgiving page:
As some of you may know I've stupidly decided to ride from London to Paris on a bike!that's 500km within 4 days. Thinking it wouldn't be too dificult I agreed to this event with some friends but having fallen off my bike on the first training session and having had a few knocks since, I'm begining to think this may not be as easy as first thought.
Having recently spent time with my cousin who suffers greatly from Multiple Sclerosis, a condition which affects the ability of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord to communicate with each other, I have decided to raise money for MS Research, a dedicated MS charity committed to raising funds for research that will make a real difference for those who have MS and those who share their lives. Please give whatever you can because every donation really does make a difference.
The cost of travel for this trip is meant to come out of the donations I collect, however I have decided to cover this cost myself, so all contributions made by you will go to MS Research.
What a jolly good fellow! Less than a month to go, let's give him a push!
