Royal Air Force Yacht Club

RAFYC member Chris Furner is taking part in a Charity event cycling from London to Paris from the 8th to 12th of September to raise funds for The Hampshire Autistic Society.  The role of the Society is to help both the people with this disability and the families & helpers to cope and provide the care, help and assistance as and where it is required.

When Chris was asked why this particular Charity, he said that throughout my life I’ve come into contact now and then with Autism and although I can’t totally understand the impact it has on families, I can at least do something worthwhile for some of them.  Chris said he has 4 days of hard cycling to do and is just hoping his lack of French doesn’t cause problems, like when trying to find the bathroom to have a soak at the end of each day.

So what is Chris after apart from your encouragement. Well funny enough, a little bit of your cash, so that with your help he can reach his target of £1300. He has to raise 80% of that total by the end of May or he will not be allowed to take part in the cycle ride of a life time. So please support him in this amazing challenge and make a donation, either in his charity box at the club bar or by going online to his sponsorship page at                         www.justgiving.com/Chris-Furner0

Chris also said that for a small donation he is willing to fly a club burgee from his bike, so come on everyone lets help him reach his target.
