On April 6^th 2010 we announced that Notary Public London, Matthew Pryke, had taken part in a charity bike ride from London to Paris for Guts in Motion, the charity that raises money and awareness for Crohn’s and Colitis in childhood.

Thirty two riders took part in the event (not all Notaries Public in London) and MD Pryke Notary Public LLP was delighted to receive an email earlier this week, detailing how the £50,000 raised was put to good use.

The email from the guys at Guts in Motion details how the £50,000 will fund, “research into whether Crohn’s sufferers have a greater amount of fat around the blood vessels that surround the bowel and whether, by reducing the fat content of their diet, they can reduce the effects of this disease.”

The money raised by the Paris to London ride will be put towards the first year of a two year study which will help to tailor crohn’s and colitis treatment and adjust the medication that individual sufferers require.

The second year of study requires a further £60,000 in funding, so your favourite Notary in London will be taking up the cause once more.  As yet, the route is unconfirmed, but at MD Pryke Notary Public LLP we’re hoping that the organisers may increase the distance to a Notary Public London to Brussels expedition, or even further afield.  This is partly to raise the further funds necessary, and partly because we enjoy seeing Matthew suffer!

For further details regarding the excellent work carried our by Guts in Motion, or for details of the forthcoming ride, please contact Notary Public London Matthew Pryke on 0207 6364422, or via the contact page on our website.

A Notary Public London to Cambridge Bike Ride took place on Sunday 12^th September, in aid of the children’s charity Honeypot.  Matthew Pryke, a Notary Public in London took part in the ride, personally raising over £1500 for Honeypot.  The course was 65 miles long and started at Finsbury Circus.

Matthew says, ‘The Notary Public London to Cambridge bike ride was a great success.  We were blessed with good weather and raised a substantial amount for Honeypot which is the official charity partner of MD Pryke Notary Public LLP.

‘Honeypot do amazing work, helping children who act as carers to parents and other family members.  As a Notary Public, London to Cambridge represents a fair distance to cycle but the efforts displayed by the Honeypot team every day truly put this in perspective.

‘The official total for the Notary Public London to Cambridge bike ride is not yet known.  The event raised £30,000 in total last year so I am optimistic we can beat that in 2010.’

Matthew is well known as a Notary Public London who undertakes charity expeditions, and last year led an expedition to climb Mount Kilimanjaro for Honeypot, so does he plan any further events?  A Notary Public London to John O’Groats bike ride, perhaps?  Or a Notary Public London to Land’s End expedition?

‘We don’t have any plans as yet,’ says Matthew.  ‘But we’re always interested in any fundraising events for Honeypot.  If anyone has any strong ideas I hope that they will contact me via my website or on 0207 636 4422 with any interesting projects.’

MD Pryke Notary Public LLP is delighted to announce that the sponsored bike ride from Paris to London on behalf of Crohn’s and Colitis in Childhood raised over £50,000.

From his Notary Public office near Oxford Circus, Matthew said,

“Notaries Public aren’t renowned for being active types, so I am delighted to have helped raise over £50,000 for this worthwhile charity.  We set off from Paris hoping to raise £30k and so to have beaten that target is amazing.  But don’t be fooled by the smiles, it was pretty gruelling!”

Notaries Public were not the only legal practitioners to participate in the charity bike ride, sponsored by Hammonds and WPP.  Almost forty riders completed the event to arrive at Hampton Court.

London Notary Public Matthew Pryke will shortly be undertaking a 191 mile Paris to London cycle ride.  This Notary Public in London is undertaking the charity ride in an effort to raise much needed funds for Crohn’s and Colitis in Childhood.  So far his London Notaries Public practice has helped to raise in excess of £30,000 which will provide fantastic support for this very important charity.  The event is kindly being sponsored by WPP and Hammonds LLP which has allowed all of the funds raised to go directly to the charity. Matthew Pryke would like to thank many of his notary clients who have been so very generous in making donations to this wonderful cause.  London Notary Public Matthew Pryke explains “Crohn’s and Colitis in Childhood is a wonderful charity and I am delighted that we have been able to assist in raising some much needed funds via our London Notary practice. Just the small matter of cycling the distance now! ”

Andy Goodman, who is organising the event on behalf of the charity explains “So far we have raised well in excess of £30,000, which is absolutely fantastic, but let’s see if we can take it a stage further.”  Matthew Pryke and a team of 33 riders will be leaving Paris on the morning of Friday 23rd July and travelling over 3 days back to London arriving in Hampton Court on Sunday afternoon.  Further articles will follow to provide progress reports on how Matthew and the rest of the team cope with this challenge.
