Hello and thanks for visiting my fundraising page. On 15th November I will be joining a small group of cyclists who will be braving 400km of the awe inspiring slopes of the Western Ghats in just 5 hot, sweaty and painful days. Apparently the locals have already heard rumour of the impending mission and are preparing themselves for the sight of a wheezing, unfit, slightly camp looking 30 something wearing nothing but stretch lycra and a gleaming, recently polished helmet. Hmmm.... It's all about the International Childcare Trust.... The ICT is a small, dynamic, UK charity. They rely on extremely generous donations from people like YOU to fund high impact projects in India, Kenya, Cambodia and Sri Lanka. These projects give deprived children and young people the essentials they need to build a life : shelter, healthcare, education, skills training and companionship. Having struggled up, down, and through the awesome Western Ghats, the ride ends at the Vilpatti Village Project in Kodaikanal - a centre that is funded by the ICT to provide care, accomodation and a new life for incredibly deprived and orphaned local children. It would be fantastic if you feel able to make a donation, however large, or small to this tremendous cause. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: International Childcare Trust 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.
So please sponsor me now. It's really is all about the kids. Quite simply, by sponsoring me for Cycle India you will change lives. It really does put the current credit crunch into a bit perspective.Ian
