Hello everyone,
I am a new member here, so I feel a bit cheeky that I'm already asking for help, but here goes!
I am trying to raise £50,000 for the Lavender Trust at Breast Cancer Care on behalf of my fiancee who was killed by the disease, aged 29.
As part of the Lavender Challenge, my friend Warren and I will be riding between 500 and 800 miles per day to outline the European continent in less than a month. This involves leaving the UK in the early hours of Saturday 7th April, travelling across the channel to begin our 15,000 mile journey through the following 33 countries and territories: France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Lapland (Norwegian, Finnish and Swedish), Finmark, Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Poland, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Turkey, Bulgaria, The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Greece, Albania, Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, Spain, Gibraltar and Portugal.
Full details can be found here: www.lavenderchallenge.com and www.justgiving.com/lavenderchallenge
I am putting virtually all my savings into this project - (I have bought a 2000 650 Dakar and an aerostich suit for the event) and I am finding it hard to find the funds to kit myself out properly. Is there anyone who can lend me a top box and frame for a GS Dakar? I would of course take very good care of it and return it as soon as I return.
I tried contacting all the big petrol companies and BMW for help with the fuel costs, but they all told me to go jump - apparently my case doesn't fit their requirements. Does anyone have any ideas about who might sponsor me in terms of fuel?
Thanks so much for any help you could give me with this.
