5.4 million children across the world are currently trapped in orphanages – even though 80% of them have family they could live with if they had the right support. Orphanages harm children, depriving them of love and exposing them to abuse. Your support helps us get children to back to family.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>My challenge is to Cycle in December from London to Berlin. I am not professional cyclist and I never done anything like it.</p> <p>My hope is that I'll get nice warm weather and&nbsp;some&nbsp;cozy sleeps in my tent during my 2.5 weeks ride. But looking at the weather forecast it could be pretty nippy!</p> <p>As an incentive to give&nbsp;I'm also promising to cycle one&nbsp;extra mile for every pound I raise over my fundraising target. I just hope you don't make me cycle too far!</p> <p>For all of you who cares, you can follow my daily progress and see photos from&nbsp;my&nbsp;trip&nbsp;at <a href="http://www.lonber.wordpress.com">www.lonber.wordpress.com</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>Many of you&nbsp;will be in the nice warm houses with your families&nbsp;over x-mas and new year but I wanted to experience a taste of&nbsp;what homeless families have to endure&nbsp;in Ukraine and the rest of the world. Families who don't stand a chance without your help and support.</p> <p>Sometimes it seems&nbsp;impossible to&nbsp;be able to give something, but I believe that if&nbsp;you would like to get something you&nbsp;have to give something first.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
