Thanks for sponsoring me to raise funds for the Unicorn Foundation. The team from Unicorn work tirelessly to support people and families dealing with Neuroendocrine Cancer.

Our cycling team, of semi-dilapidated MAMILs, is competing in the 600km Tour of New Zealand cycle race in April. 

We are doing this to raise awareness of this rare form of cancer and to raise funds for this underfunded medical condition.

Personally, I feel you should consider yourself lucky not to have to view us on Tour in our un-awesome lycra-clad bods and emotionally wrecked states of mind - feel for us..... as we have to do it instead..... and empty your pockets!!

I will be trying my best not to be the lantern rouge. Being the slowest up the hills and oldest in our team, it will be a challenge I will struggle with, just a wee bit.

We'll do our bit with tired legs and sore butts! But we really need your support to reach our fundraising goal. 

Thanks for contributing to a worthy cause and  giving us added impetus to put our heart and soul into completing.

Whether we are talking to each other by the end of this, may be another topic for discussion!.
