<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.</p>
<p>On 11th May, Calum and his class will be cycling 150 miles off road, raising funds for ActionAId and Wynstones School. They will be joined by 10 parents and a support team of 6 and will attempt to do this in three days.</p>
<p>The children have been trianing all winter and have covered over 9000 miles in preparation for this ride. They have been out most weekends in sub zero temperatures, driving rain and on occasion some sun. I am particularly proud of their efforts so far.</p>
<p>After debate and discussion the class decided they wanted to help children and their families in East Africa, sufffering with the current drought situation. So we are raising money for ActionAid as well as for the school trip. You can find out more about them here <a href="http://www.actionaid.org.uk">www.actionaid.org.uk</a></p>
