600-mile bike ride to support Alzheimer’s Trust

31 July 2008 (9:36) Alzheimer's Fandom Terry Pratchett News News Archives

A Gwendolen Morgan is biking across Vietnam to support the Alzheimer’s Trust this November, and friend Rachel Jarrett is helping her raise money for the charity bike ride, hoping to surprise Morgan with as many sponsors as possible.

Rachel Jarrett said, “As Terry fans and devotees we have all been reminded of this terrible disease and the frankly disgusting underfunding that researchers and doctors face whilst treating the illness, as well as the amount and range of support that can be offered by charities that do a brilliant job.”

Checks, etc. should be made to Gwendolen Morgan and sent to Rachel Jarrett (14 Bolingbroke Close/Great Leighs/Chelmsford/Essex/CM3 1NZ), and should be received by the middle of September.  Please provide a name and address.

Anyone willing to help can email Jarrett at rayj6@hotmail.co.uk for more information.

At least £2,500 has been raised so far,  £320 of which was raised withe aid of a cake sale.
