Story

For those who know me as either a mother or a business woman, or both, I know you will understand how important this charity is to me. 

Education is the key to personal development and opportunity, and to a wider understanding and appreciation of human nature. Through my work in the fashion business, we found this route to support teenagers through college. Their parents work in our factories in Bangladesh. If we give one of their  children an opportunity, it automatically gives the whole family a chance.

Please sponsor me in any way you can. My training involved 5am rides of between 25/60 miles, cycling on my own before work, or strapping my bike on my car and struggling up Dorset hills. My crooked front teeth are testiment to the last time I crashed my bike at 16 years old. I have put in a huge effort and would truely appreciate your support. 

Many thanks Barbara
