Story

<p>In June/July 2011 - I'll be leading a group of 10 motorcyclists + support crew to complete a&nbsp;endurance&nbsp;ride to the site if the worlds first and worst nuclear disaster. Covering 14 countries in 2 weeks, we will reach the reactor itself and then proceed to 2 orphanages in Gomel.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Details of the event are here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.chernobylchallenge.co.uk/">www.chernobylchallenge.co.uk</a></p> <p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </p> <p><span lang="EN">&nbsp;</span><span lang="EN"> <p>The <a href="http://www.focc.org.uk" target="_blank">Friends of Chernobyl&rsquo;s Children</a> is a local charity in Diss, Norfolk whose aim is to relieve the suffering of children affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.</p> </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p> <p>It organises health breaks with&nbsp;local families for a group of 14 children each year, helping to extend their lives.
