    Thumbs Up A big favour please

    If you have 2 mins could you please vote for Kasupe, the charity I volunteer for (i do their website)

    :: Astana Cycling Team ::

    Go to the bottom of the page

    The more votes the better the item we get to auction off. We are still short of funds to finish off a secondary school and to build a primary school

    thanks so much

    Default Thanks for voting

    Its only one vote per IP address. It closes on Saturday. We are hoping for something really good to auction as a very small amount of money can do so much. (£2000 to build a whole school!).

    Kasupe is currently at 3% of the overall vote

    Voted. Unfortunately you are losing by a large margin. Maybe we can sick Guido out there to do some leg breaking and other convincing techniques.

    Team Astana had some of the best TDF riders in the world this last year.

    Dream Team.
