Donations cannot currently be made to this page
In partnership with local Zambians we are helping to build and develop community schools in the Copperbelt region for children, mainly orphans, who cannot otherwise afford to go to school. We build classrooms, employ teachers, cooks and a nurse, and our hope is that communities will be transformed.

Story

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p><!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">As many of you may already know I will be undertaking the challenge of cycling from Livingstone to the Copperbelt region of Zambia. It is a distance of about 900km and we are hoping to cover the distance in about 10 days. This will be quite a challenge for me (especially as I am used to Swiss roads) and I am currently training hard and cycling lots so that I will be able to achieve it. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I will be undertaking the challenge as a part of a group ride for Beyond The Bike. This leg will be just one of many on Stuart Block&rsquo;s aim to cycle from South Africa to London on a tandem in time for the 2012 Olympic games to raise money and awareness for charity.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Through fundraising I also hope raise money for the amazing charities that Beyond the Bike is supporting including: Beyond Ourselves, Right to Sight, Alive and Kicking and UNICEF. Please visit the following website for more information on Beyond the Bike or the fab work that the above charities are doing.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://www.beyondthebike.org/">http://www.beyondthebike.org/</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">On arriving in the Copperbelt region I will be joining students from Cranleigh School in the UK, helping them to build school classrooms through Beyond Ourselves. <span style="color: #151515;">Amazingly, &pound;30k is enough to build a basic school for 200 kids</span></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: #151515;">.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I hope that you think the charities are as worthwhile as I do and that you will be able to support me in my fundraising. Thanks also to the people who are joining me in all weather conditions and encouraging me in my training!&nbsp;</span></p> <!--EndFragment--></p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
