Fundraisers Jules and Clive take a long and winding road for @CRY_UK
Clive and Juliet.
Cycling four hundred kilometres in five days in temperatures higher than thirty degrees centigrade is the challenge Clive and Juliet Matthews have set themselves as they raise money for Tom and Claire’s Fund.
The pair, from Ealing, are aiming to cycle from Mumbai to Goa between November 30th and December 4th, 2019. You can support them here.
“We will be thinking about Claire and Tom every day that we’re training and cycling,” said Jules, who continues to recover from injuries after being hit by a car in 2015. “I am still very nervous when crossing a road so this is a nerve wracking challenge for me, apart from the fact that my fitness is seriously lacking!”
The couple, who are covering all the costs themselves, will be cycling about seven hours a day. The hot and hilly route will take them south through India.
Clive, who has gone through rigorous checks that his heart is strong enough for the testing conditions, having had a few issues of his own in the past, said: “I love challenges, and this couldn’t be for a better cause. I just hope I haven’t bitten off more than I can chew in the sub-continent.”
Paul Clabburn said: “It’s not the first time Jules and Clive have helped to raise money for the Fund and we’ve extremely grateful for their efforts. They have been great supporters of our family and I hope this latest challenge is a wonderful experience.”
