My story

Hi welcome to my fundraising page for Bike Bengal 2012.

 Bike Bengal 2012 is a charity bicycle ride from Kolkata to Kalimpong, India. Between 19 and 25 February, 13 Volunteers from the UK, Australia & Spain are giving up their personal time and paying for all expenses to cycle about 1000km over 7 days, to raise funds and help Dr. Graham's Homes recover from the disastrous 18/9/11 earthquake (measured 6.8 on the Richter scale) which caused substantial structural damage to the school buildings and Estate. We will cycle daily, camp overnight and, on the final day, encounter a steep climb of some 4,500 ft before arriving at the school. All funds raised will go directly to the Dr Graham's Homes Earthquake Appeal Fund.

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Donate now - PLEASE!
