Thanks for taking the time to visit the Cycle 2 Austria JustGiving page. The Cycle 2 Austria team, Matthew Renshaw, Michael Crawley, Lee Grant and Thomas Hasler are preparing to cycle from Holland down through Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Germany and finish in Neustift, Austria to raise money for SCOPE, the official Charity for Cerebral Palsy. Every six hours a child is born with cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is the most commonly diagnosed physical condition in the UK, and occurs around the time of birth when part of the brain fails to develop properly. It can happen to any child. Scope is the largest charity in the UK working with people with cerebral palsy, their families and carers. The money raised from the Cycle2Austria trip will allow Scope to continue running their vital services which are designed to support disabled people in every aspect of their lives from birth through to adulthood. Scope’s aim is that disabled people achieve equality in everyday life. We at Cycle2Austria have pledged to raise a total of £5000.00 for scope. If you are able to make a donation towards the target, your donation would bring us closer to our aim of raising the £5000.00, and help Scope achieve its goal that disabled people achieve equality. The cycle ride will be from Thursday 14th April 2011 to Saturday 23rd April 2011. 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. So please dig deep and donate now, p.s remember the gift aid!
