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

TREE AID CYCLE MARATHON 2009

Job Done! On 20th June 2009 the entire TACM made it round the 87miles of the Avon Cycleway. Not that our start was entirely auspicious. With two punctures on route to Cleve RFC we started 15m late and separate from the main pack which added to the route-finding challenge. Other events included losing one of the team for an angst-ridden hour (said rider was 14 with no phone, no money, no map, no water and no food), an unexpectedly long lunch break in Clevedon (apparently they were not expecting us) and at least one near collison of a vehicular nature.

One unexpected consequence of the late start is that most of the TACM folk started and therefore finished together in a genuine team effort. So overall a very enjoy enjoyable day made all the more enjoyable knowing that others would benefit from our efforts.

Thank you thank you thank you for your kind donations,

Trevor
