I'm cycling from London to Paris!! ..... I'VE DONE IT!!!!
Vision Aid Overseas is an amazing charity that I'm proud to be involved with. So much so that somehow I find myself cycling from London to Paris from the 1st July - but only with your support!
The difference you can make to a person, a family and a country by supporting me and VAO is incredible.
Please, please, please dig deep
Oh the guy in the picture? That's Solomon, he was a tailor I met in Ghana, hadn't been able to see his sewing for 8 years, so couldn't earn money for his family. His grandson had stopped going to school and was selling packets of water on the highway. The VAO team I was part of tested his eyes and I fitted those spex to him, he can now see, he can now sew, he can now earn money for his family and his grandson can get an education - easy with the right support!
And if you aren't moved by that, then think of me having to get on a bike and cycle to meet the French whilst wearing lycra - that's got to be worth a few quid!
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Vision Aid Overseas gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please sponsor me now! You can donate online, or give me cash / cheque (payable to Vision Aid Overseas)
