Bhavin's Pedalling from Dublin to Birmingham
Bhavin Prajapati is raising money for Elephant Family and Helen Bamber Foundation with Deutsche Bank
Story
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
In January 2014 I've pledged that I will cycle, along with my fellow interns the distance from Dublin's service centre to Birmingham's service centre, amounting to 450km. Taking into consideration that I'm terribly out of shape, this could be quite painful but I'm determined to help my team complete this challenge for two worthwhile charities.
Any donations, no matter how small will help toward sustaining the great work these charities are doing.
The Charities:
Elephant Family
Time. We don't have it. The biggest, most intelligent animal on the planet is facing extinction in our lifetime.
90% of the world's Asian elephants have been wiped out in the last 100 years. Their habitat is disappearing, reduced to isolated islands of green, too small to support them. But our determination stands between them and extinction. We have 10 years to reconnect the remaining forests. To save elephants, and the wildlife that shares their habitat. Stephen Fry says "Please make Elephant Family your first animal conservation charity!"

Helen Bamber Foundation
The men, women and children who go to the Helen Bamber Foundation have been tortured by government officials, trafficked for sexual exploitation, mutilated by their communities, and broken by cruelty.
The charity provides a warm welcome, clinical treatment and practical support to help survivors believe in themselves again. We bear witness to their stories, secure legal protection, and campaign to improve the way society treats them. Helen Bamber Foundation help them go to college, find work, and rebuild the confidence to trust in others and find love and friendship.

Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.
