Raising money for

Tree Aid

Charity Registration No. 296708

TREE AID supports some of the poorest communities in Africa to fight poverty, become self reliant and improve their environment using trees. Since 1987 more than 450,000 villagers have planted more than 6 million trees. Trees mean shade, shelter, improved soil & crops, food, natural medicines, animal fodder, building materials, fuel for cooking, tools, and products that can be sold for money. TREE AID's support to fund and train families in sustainable land use means communities can thrive and not just survive, now and for generations to come.

My story

Welcome to the fundraising page for The Road to Bilbao, our cycle trip from St Malo in north-west France to Bilbao in north-east Spain, a journey of more than 600 miles over 11 days, finishing with 2 days over some small hills known as the Pyrenees.

From May 6th till 19th 2009, "Team Tonk" , will be battling the elements, french drivers and some seriously sore rear ends, all in aid of Tree Aid, a fantastic charity which helps African communities make the most of their limited resources and environment sustainably.

We are also hoping to promote awareness of climate change and encourage people to reduce their carbon emissions, so our trip will be as environmentally-friendly as possible: We will be travelling solely by train, ferry, and of course, bicycle!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Tree Aid 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 support us now!
