Hi! Welcome to my Bike Bengal 2012 Fund Raising Page!

Bike Bengal 2012 is a charity bicycle ride from Kolkata to Kalimpong, India. Between 19th & 25th February, 13 Volunteers from the UK, Australia & Spain are giving up their personal time and paying for all expenses to cycle some 670km 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. 

I live in Aberdeen, Scotland and I am and ex pupil of The 'Homes', a co-educational institution, that has provided education and care to many impoverished and deprived children since 1900. Please donate generously and help the school continue the good work it has been doing for over 111 years!

Thank you for your kind & generous donation – Ken Hammond
