I’d planned to post my next post – this post – once our fundraising reached £1000.  It took a while longer than expected, hence the past quiet month.  But at last, you’ve done it!

Thanks so much to all our supporters so far.  Including gift aid, the total raised at the moment is £1,230.76.  Not bad!!

Phil flies out to Rome with his bicycle on Wednesday.  I’ll spend a week with him and some other friends, having a guided tour and pilgrimage with Fr. Stephen Langridge.  I then fly home for a few days while Phil waits in Italy and I walk up Snowdon, then I rejoin him and we set off on Tuesday 7th July.  Exciting times!

It’s never too late to sponsor us!  We really do appreciate anything you can give, from the smallest amount upwards.  We’re putting a lot of effort into organising and doing the cycle, and to have your financial support for the charity would be great.  Here’s the link to the sponsorship page.

Youth 2000 are putting on a summer prayer festival retreat and hoping for 1,500 young retreatants.  It costs over £80,000 to organise and so we’re only able really to provide a fraction of that cost through sponsorship, but it all adds up.  Please also see the sponsorship page of six year-old Maria Toone, who’ll be completing a sponsored swim on the 4th July.

God bless, Dom & Phil
