EuroVelo6 · 13 September 2009

ARCOS improves life for children and adults who have communication and/or swallowing problems, their families and others involved. Many clients have complex, life-long disabilities. Its goal is to enable them to benefit from the latest advances in knowledge, understanding, skills and technology.

Story

We're cycling 737 miles across France! Following the Euro Velo 6 from the Atlantic coast towards the Black Sea, we will cycle all the way across France from St Nazaire to Basel.

We are aiming to raise £737, just £1 for every mile, to support ARCOS. Dig out those 1p and 2p pieces, raid the piggy bank, dig deep into your pockets and contribute towards a very good cause. ARCOS is the Association for Rehabilitation of Communication and Oral Skills, and works with children and adults who have communication and eating (swallowing)  difficulties, their families, carers and others involved.  ARCOS provides information, advice, practical help,  specialist therapy, training and other services not  readily available elsewhere, and relies solely on charitable donations.
