Raising money for

RSPCA - National Society

Charity Registration No. 219099

The RSPCA helps more animals than any one else in the UK. Working in practical animal welfare, law enforcement, education and campaigning for change to improve the lives of all animals, it employs experts in every field that benefits animals, from cruelly treated pets to rescued fledglings. All money raised through Justgiving for the National Society will go into RSPCA general funds and once in there will not be redistributed to an RSPCA branch.

My story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

London to Paris is definitely a long way, but we made it within our 2 day target!

It was a really tough slog with high winds, but we got to La Tour Eiffel at 9.15 pm on Saturday; very happy and 'a bit tired'. We arrived 42 hours after leaving Big Ben, having been 'on the bikes' for about 30 hours and cycling for 23 hours. We covered around 265 miles (it felt like it) and did 12,500 feet of climbing (it felt like more)! Hopefully some of you saw our real time progress on Twitter. (http://twitter.com/RobboNick)

This page will remain open for a few months, so if you feel you can, please give generously to help this great charity.

The RSPCA receives no government funding, but has been providing care and protection for animals since 1824. In an increasingly cruel and at times heartless world this great charity continues to help those that cannot help themselves. Your help is needed more than ever to help ease the suffering of innocent animals.

Thank you
