Cuba Cycle Challenge 2009 · 10 November 2008

It works with the National Centre of Arts and Music Schools (CNEArt) in Cuba to send and distribute materials to children and young people for music and performing arts education in Cuba.

Story

Comrades, Friends, Brothers, Sisters!

Our comrades in Cuba have suffered decades of economic blockade and are now recovering from a hurricane disaster, so to help them we are looking to raise the sum of £6,500 for the Music Fund for Cuba, the charity which was set up in memory of Kirsty McColl. 

Monies raised will go towards purchasing essential educational equipment for young Cuban school children and educational projects organised through the Cuban Ministry of Education. Many essential items are in short supply and our cycle group will personally deliver aid directly to Abel Santamaria School for visually impaired children in Havana.

To raise this money the 3 of us are going to cycle 350k around Cuba in six days - in temperatures averaging 28 degrees! We are prepared to lose our dignity by wearing lycra, build up our leg muscles and sweat a lot. All you have to do is sponsor us!
