Story

Hello and welcome to Rikki, Ruman, Will and Kieran's fundraising page!

.

We are now back from our 2400 mile road trip. We visited 7 different countries in 5 days in our £225 Pikachu car!

Firstly I want to say a big thank-you to all those who have already sponsored us either via this page or by contributing to one of the three cake sales we organised in VT offices.

Early estimates of final sponsorship for our team put the total around £1250-£1500, which is then very generously being DOUBLED by VT. It would be great if we can reach this upper figure to provide over £3000 for Action for M.E., and for this reason we are still hopeful for and accepting donations.

Remember that with VT matching sponsorship and gift aid being claimable, a £5 donation is worth £11.40 for the charity!

What is this all in aid of you may ask? Well, we are raising money for people with M.E / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. M.E. devastates the lives of around 250,000 people in the United Kingdom. They live with severe pain and exhaustion and many are left housebound or bedbound. Action for M.E. helps to improve the lives of people with M.E. by providing specialist support and information whilst campaigning for research, treatments and services.

P.S. Remember to follow us on Facebook, for photos, videos and blog updates during the Rally: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=65012642732

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Action for M.E. gets your money faster and, if you’re a taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
