Just noticed that The Jewish Chronicle (a national British Jewish newspaper - wiki) have posted an online version of a small write-up they did about my 'Israeli Rider' event at the end of September. Unfortunately they didn't add any sponsorship links, as thats against their policy, doh! Hopefully it add's some sort of increased awareness though, no press is bad press as the saying goes, except the press that doesn't have links!!! ;)Here's the excerpt for your amazement:
Covent Garden
An art director from Covent Garden is hoping to raise £5,000 for a new breast cancer centre by taking part in a sponsored bike ride in Israel next month. Marcus Bird, 25, will be among 400 cyclists covering the 362 miles from Metullah in the north to Eilat in the south to raise money for the new facility based at Tel Aviv’s Rabin Medical Centre. Mr Bird is believed to be the only Briton among a 15-strong team from the American Friends of Rabin Medical Centre.
Cool. Kinda just ends, haha, but there you go, my first real write-up. To add to the amazement however, i've been told i'll be in the Haftarah sheet (wiki) at my Shul in Marble Arch (West London Synagogue). Ill post something when I see it :)
