In the last few years BlueDucks has given money to lots of good causes, but that was easy. When someone we know, who could hardly climb 3 flights of stairs without gasping for breath, said they were going to attempt the 3 Peaks Challenge in 3 months time we were shocked at their self-belief (or was that their sheer dumb determination). Well she did it and we suddenly felt very lazy, so in 2009/10 we're giving money AND our Founder is taking up a challenge.
The cause is Muscular Dystrophy and is very close to his heart and the future for his girls, which is why Geoff has decided to complete a '352km in 5 days' challenge of cycling across Cuba in 80 degree heat during March 2010. He's not ridden a bike for over 7 years and that was only around a park with his family so no-one said he was sane but hopefully 2010 will be a great year for everyone we know and, after his efforts, it will be an even better year for those struggling with Muscular Dystrophy.
Sometimes you've got to get personally involved in the challenges to feel you've made that extra little bit of difference. See www.justgiving.com/geoff-major for more information and to offer support.
