Leander alumnus Alex Stoney is going to undertaking an amazing journey in aid of The Leukaemia Society (UK). Below is his description of the event, along with a website where you can sponsor him. All I can say is that this is an amazing task and that we should all support one of our own. I encourage everyone to give something.
As some of you know or some may not, I am currently training to complete a total distance of roughly 1500 miles starting at London Bridge and finishing in Valencia, Spain on nothing but a simple push bike (In August 2009)!!
I am doing this to raise money for The Leukaemia Society (UK) and as i'm sure if any of you have ever known anyone who has suffered such a terrible illness, you will realise how good the cause is.
"The Leukaemia Society (UK) is dedicated to ensuring that more people with Leukaemia survive, have the best possible quality of life and that their families and carers get the support they need."
The donation target is to get £1 per mile for the trip, so a total of £1500 (providing we don't get lost). We are aiming to cycle between 60-70 miles a day and will take just less than a month with the odd day off.

Any contribution, no matter how little would be greatly appreciated.
Leander require a second hand cabinet (preferably steel with shelves) for putting pull buoys and floats. The ones we have at the moment are, eh...how can I put this...falling apart! I know this is an unusual request but something like this will prove so useful.
If you have anything else that you think would be of use then don't hesitate to let any of the coaches know. Alternativley call Kathhleen Madine on 9096 4838.
Someone must have something lying around! Help us out!
