Hello

Could any Warmshowers members spare two minutes - no money involved - to help two tandem riders undertaking a unique challenge?

Over the next year, my wife and I plan to ride 10,000 miles across North America, New Zealand, Australia and Europe - giving talks in hundreds of communities along the way about the work of the disaster relief charity ShelterBox.

Our trip has been shortlisted for an award from British Airways but the final is judged purely on public votes, so we need to get as many people as possible to vote for us.

To read more about what we're doing and why, take a look at our blog at http://tandem10.wordpress.com - there's also a link to BA's Great Britons site and instructions on how to vote.

That's it. No catch, no money involved.

We think ShelterBox is a fantastic organisation - they've delivered emergency aid for tens of thousands of people in Haiti alone. Your support would mean a lot to us so please vote - and encourage as many others to do so as possible!

Many thanks, Huw Thomas
