I would like to thank the many of you who went onto  http://www.justgiving.com/RodSmallwood and supported my fundraising ride to Cuba earlier this year on behalf of Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy and Childline/NSPCC., and also  Michiel Van Diesen, Chris Ross, Phil Cole and Scott Sereboff for their most generous support of the auction. This all enabled me to go well past my personal target of £66,666 and raise £81,202. Tall tales of our adventure, many photographs and a video can be viewed on http://www.cubacharitybikeride2011.co.uk/.

These contributions from so many of you are most appreciated by myself and of course the Charities, who, like many others, are finding fundraising progressively difficult in these harsh economic times. My sincerest apologies for the delay in posting this but as you all know we have been quite busy and also it took a while to extract some promised cheques from tardy friends and to collate all the materiel for the website. But I do hope you will enjoy checking out the website!!

Best wishes and Thanks,

– Rod Smallwood
