My story

 
Hello all you lovely people!

I have decided to do something useful and challenging, and I need a little help from my friends (and family) to be able to do it...

I'm cycling to Paris in September to raise money for Quest 4 Change, the charity I worked for in Mozambique last year. We built a primary school in rural Mozambique and having seen personally the benefits this brought, I know for a fact that this is a worthwhile cause. Quest 4 Change doesn't only focus on education projects; their work is far-reaching and varied, they problem-solve with communities, and also help protect endangered habitats and the plants and animals that rely on them.

The minimum amount I need to raise for the ride is £1250 ... and getting that together in the next 6 weeks will be really tough. This is where you come in :) I am really hoping you can help out with whatever you have to spare, any help is appreciated, and I promise none of it will go on chocolate croissants when I arrive in Paris.

Thank you, or indeed merci beaucoup!

Lucy x
