Hello, my colleague Chris O'Brien and I are participating in the TARMAC Aerosave Tourmalet Experience (Challenge) again. This year to be held on Friday the 03rd July next in Tarbes, France. The cycling course is 110 Km long leaving from TARMAC's facility and climbing the mighty and Epic Tourmalet from Sainte Marie de Campan (17.1 km long, 7.4% avg, 11% max gradient, 1,267 m elevation gain). In total there is 2,087 m to be climbed, mostly to and including the Tourmalet.

Unfortunately I am personally affected by Vasculitis, EGPA - Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis, which is a rare type or an already rare condition. I have decided along with hopefully completing the challenge, to raise money to raise awareness and support for Vasculitus sufferers like myself in all of Ireland.

I am self financing the logistics and hotel. We would be very grateful for your support, both morale and financial.

Thanks in advance,

Chris & Mick
