Goodenough Burn · 2 June 2008

We are a national charity working to transform the hopes and happiness of young people facing abuse, exploitation and neglect. We support them through their most serious life challenges and we campaign tirelessly for the big social changes that will improve the lives of those who need hope most.

Story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.  We are cycling from Goodenough College, London, to the Burn House, Edzell, in Scotland from June 29th to July 5th, 2008. The total distance should be about 530 miles- if we don't get lost!

Our motivation is similar to that of the Children's Society- "that every child deserves a good childhood".  Witht he current outbreak of knife crime, we believe that teenagers need adult friends who are not their parents for encouragement and help. We are inviting you to give to the Children's Society because they have many projects to help young people including the recruiting, training and supporting of mentors for children. One of their pilot projects is with the Diocese of London.

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

Well we did it- we hope to send all of you who have sponsored us a short report of our wonderful journey. Thank you all so much. 625 miles in all!

So please sponsor us now!
