Please Sponsor Us ...
well not us but two guys we met here in Chile...
Jonny and Owen, who we met in Santiago, are cycling from Quito to Cape Horn. This is a staggering 12,000km from the equator to the southern most point in South America. They are doing the trip in aid of Cancer Research and have set a target of raising 1pound per km.
Having already been plagued with broken bike frames and grazed knees, Jonny has now taken a tumble and among other things smashed his pelvis. We caught up with Jonny today in Santiagos plush Clinica Las Condes hopsital and found him to be very perky and in a great frame of mind. He's really really lucky to be alive but obviously will not be finishing the trip. Owen on the other hand has gone off to continue the last 2weeks cycling.
These guys are an awesome pair and we would love for them to reach their goal in rasing 12grand.
They would be overjoyed if you would visit their blog at www.quito2capehorn.blogspot.com
If you are able to sponsor them then I'm sure you would agree that the Cancer Research Charity is a most worthy cause.
