In my head at least...
My aim is to raise some money to help educate doctors in developing countries to learn to use the Ponseti method for correcting club feet. There are a few charities doing this and I will have a look at them to decide which one I want to raise funds for.
The next challenge is how to raise the money. For the time being I am going to try to get entered in the Trans Austria bike race in September which is a pretty tough 7 day race across Austria (no surprise there) that you enter in pairs. The next part of the challenge is to find a willing and able partner, my first contact is the father of another baby who was born with a club foot who is a keen cyclist. I have no idea if he will be interested, but I'm asking anyway. My initial idea is to sell the advertising space on our Jerseys each day in return for a bit or corporate love and some exposure (hopefully media, not the riders).
The first big hurdle is to get into the race, last time I tried to enter something like this I was 10 minutes late getting to the computer and ended up 600 or so places down the waiting list.
Is there any chance of this working?
Is Denmark a developing country?
ReplyDeleteSounds like an excellent idea - you have my support!

I'm free next September & think of how much advertising space you could sell on my shirt.
ReplyDeleteI only do flat or downhill with a following wind.
Would this be a problem?
aj does a bit of cycling to work & home, she's another possibility.m
There are all chances of it working, because of the great and noble intention! There are no accidents and since everything happens for a reason, there is much good to come out of all these challenging times, you'll see.
