Our personal message:

From 8th - 10th November 2008, I'm going to be cycling 185 miles along the C&O Canal path in order to raise money for World Computer Exchange. Given that the furthest I have ridden in the past ten years is 5 miles, I would very much appreciate your support for this undertaking. Your donations will definitely make the ride more bearable - and every single dollar will help spur on my aching legs.

For more information about World Computer Exchange, and the work we do in Tanzania, see: http://www.worldcomputerexchange.org/Tanzania+plans.

And for progress on the Bike Ride and the fundraising effort, see updates at: http://dcdiary.typepad.com.

Many thanks for your support -- and please do forward this to anyone else who you think might want to contribute too.

Emma
