My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. Please make sure you donate generously, it will truly be appreciated :-)

I have been asked to participate in “Cycle India” – a challenge to raise money for orphans in India.  Along with other fundraisers, I will cycle over 200 miles in 4 days through Southern India.  All the money raised by the cyclists will go to HEAL, a charity dedicated to providing education to children from extremely under privileged backgrounds in India. We want to remove as many children as possible from the cycle of poverty. 

It’s going to be painful, and I’ve started training hard.  Some of the good news stories that motivated me to do this is that children have been taken off the streets and have gone on to become Lab Assistants, School Teachers and to work in IT.  Also, it will be an opportunity to help first hand at the orphanages. 

Your support will help Heal to extend their work in providing shelter, support, education and healthcare for needy children. For more information please visit www.heal.co.uk  Importantly, all your money will go to the children. HEAL has no administration costs, as everyone that helps with the children are volunteers.

Cheers everyone for your help!
