Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 13px;">In April, a group of us will be cycling the length of the country. We're hoping to raise LOTS of money for Kiya Survivors, Solace and Amnesty International through a bike ride from Lands End To John O Groats. We''l be cycling over 1000 miles in 13 days and carrying our own camping gea<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">r too - so a big challenge, and I'm sure we'll all have huge legs and very sore bums at the end of it.. . every mile will hurt so it would be great to raise at least a pound per mile for our charities</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 13px;"></span>Solace is a charity based in Yorkshire which provides free counselling and support to victims of persecution and exile from both this and other countries. A really worthwhile cause as, without Solace, these peope are left to cope alone without support or understanding from their communities. Thankfully, Solace is able to start addressing that and provide some support to these people and families in the Yorkshire area.&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
