THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT! WE HAVE NOW REACHED OUR TARGET FOR THE FIRST CHARITY (GREAT ORMOND STREET CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL) AND ARE NOW COLLECTING FOR THE SECOND CHARITY - PARKINSON'S UK. PLEASE CONTINUE TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT AND HELP US REACH OUR £1000 TARGET. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS.
Sikh storyteller, Roop Singh
is generally used to travelling the length and breadth of the country –
providing a fun and educational consultancy to schools in and around
the UK – This summer he’ll be making the journey with a difference; as
his epic trip will see him making the journey, from Land’s End to John
O’Groats – on a recumbent trike.
As the first Sikh to take on
the challenge, Roop has chosen to do this on behalf of three charities
that he hopes will benefit from his feat. SikhNet, Great Ormand Street
Hospital and Peddle for Parkinson’s. He explains, “I made a promise to
myself on my 50 birthday to fulfil this lifetime ambition
and attached some worthwhile reasons to it. The first, to raise
environmental awareness, through the use of my trike, the second, to
encourage more ethnic groups to become involved in stereotypical
British activities and the third to raise money for some worthwhile
causes”.
Roop set about training for
his challenge back in November last year and with the support of his
family and friends will begin his epic journey on the 26
July 2010, covering approximately 1000 miles and visiting amongst many,
Exeter, Coventry, Nottingham, his home city, Leeds and Glasgow.
Roop will spend the last month before his trip training and fundraising up and down the country.
