Adrian Beggan cycles the Alps for Comber!
Adrian says: "A chance meeting only 3 months ago led me to finding out about Comber and I was lost for words. It seemed only right to make my Marmotte 2010 count for them and not just myself. I am completing 'La Marmotte' in the French Alps. It is known as the 'Queen' of amateur cycling events, with many top amateurs and x professionals and even former Tour de France winners taking part, covering 174km and 5 of the Tour de Frances famous climbs, ending with the 14km ascent of Alp Duez after 160km ! This year I would really really be grateful to have your support in helping raise money for Comber, a charity which helps adults who have been placed in institutions, places void of hope. Every little helps. You can follow my journey on Facebook or donate online here. Thank you." Adrian
