My story

 

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page!

***********************************************************************************************************************

UPDATE: 15th October - I (Richard) am working in the slums in Delhi - with a paintbrush in one hand, and an English book in the other! See www.delhibikechallenge2009.com for more details, and please donate as well - every donation will help. 

 

We're pleased with how the fundraising is going - thank you SO much to everyone who has donated so far.. We've still got a long way to go, so we'd really appreciate you forwarding the link to your friends, and mentioning our trip to anyone who might be interested.

The background...

On 9th September this year, we (Richard & Simon) left Weston Super Mare on our motorbikes. Our destination is New Delhi, India, and the distance will be around 8,000 miles. I'm riding my Indian built domestic model Royal Enfield 'back home' so to speak, and Simon will be on his 650 Transalp.

We are paying all our own expenses for the trip, so anything you donate will go directly to Weston Hospicecare, a charity that does a fantastic job of caring for people with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. You can read all about their work at http://www.westonhospicecare.org.uk/). We're aiming to raise a pound per mile and would be overjoyed to reach this target.

As much as we both like riding motorbikes, we're pretty sure that it won't always be easy, especially given recent events on our proposed route. So, please sponsor us - every donation will help!

We've got our own website up and running with some more information about our trip and our fundraising, so take a look and learn more: http://www.delhibikechallenge2009.com/.  We'll update the website whenever possible while we're en route to Delhi.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Friends Of Asha (Gb) gets your money faster and, if you’re a taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
