Taiwan Bike Ride 08
Thanks very much for visiting myfundraiser page. I was recently invited to bike ride across Taiwan with some friends, for whom 800km's in 8 days would be a walk in the park. I needed to get motivated to commit and train and I thought what better way than getting involved with a charity I have supported before. We will be riding around 3-5 hours each day and covering a distance of around 800km in total or around 100km's per day. The hardest single day will be 148km's starting at 300m's above sea level and finishing at 3200m's. For any reason I do not start or finish the tour I will donate $2000 myself. I hope you will support me and donate money to the Stillbirth Foundation. Thanks for taking the time to check out my challenge and wish me luck! If you want some more information on what the tour is like just let me know.

Taiwan Bike Ride 08
In February 2008 a hardy group will take on a challenge of riding 1000 kilometres around Taiwan in eight days! They will travel through Northern, Eastern, Central and Southern Taiwan - Taipei, Ilan, Haulien, Nantou, Taitung, Pingtung and Kaohsiung Counties. They will spend the majority of their time in Eastern Taiwan which is the wildest and least populated area of the island, with dense forests lining a rugged, rocky coastline of crashing surf and plunging cliffs, while white water rivers carve their way inland through spectacular gorges. East Taiwan offers the best road riding in Taiwan away from the heavily industrialized and smog congested cities on the west coast. Please support this amazing challenge and donate to one of the riders raising funds for the Stillbirth Foundation.

Stillbirth Foundation advises that this fundraising activity is tax deductible within Australia.
