Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I'm cycling from Cambridge to London, on a route of about 65 miles, to raise money for the Council for Assisting Refugee Academics. CARA provide practical support to displaced, refugee and at-risk academics - like funding for language courses or re-certification training to allow refugee teachers, academics, engineers, or doctors to rebuild their lives and careers in the UK. Have a look at some grantee's stories - it's not about fluffy animals or life-threatening diseases, just about helping some people out who can help others in return.
