Accidents are the biggest killer of children and young people. Yet they don't have to happen. Therefore, I have decided to raise money for RoSPA (The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents), to support their Brighter Beginnings Appeal (and to improve my fitness while I’m at it!)
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I took up cycle riding a couple of years ago to improve my health and fitness. To help motivate me, I thought I’d raise some money for RoSPA by undertaking a gruelling 30-mile bike ride!
I've chosen RoSPA as my charity because I've recently become aware of the work they do to reduce preventable deaths within the UK, particularly with children under 5's.
I've been very lucky with my own family, in that my wife Jackie and I were able to provide our daughter Grace with a reasonable upbringing. We've been fortunate to have good health, a reasonable income and a stable home for her to develop in, and a safe environment.
Not all children enjoy the same start in life. In fact, two children die every week in an accident in the home. It shouldn’t be this way – accidents don’t have to happen.
RoSPA are dedicated to providing free advice and information to children. It’s simple. The more money they raise, the more free Keeping Kids Safe packs they can provide to families.
That’s why I need your help. So please dig deep – together we can help to keep kids safe!
Many thanks,
Andrew
