Oooh la ouch! LAFF fundraiser cycles from London to Paris

September 2009 - LAFF fundraiser Diego Maldonado takes on the unthinkable challenge of cycling from London to Paris to raise £100s for street children.

Diego tells us:

"We have now completed the 'challenge' and 'challenge' it was. Approximately 330 miles of stunning scenery ...long, hot days in the seat over the biggest and longest hills I have ever seen, let alone conquered....but the arrival in Paris will never be forgotten and really does make the whole thing worthwhile - nearly everyone in the group was asking what the next challenge will be, next year!"
