Fundraising for Capstone Projects

Story

Hi folks -thanks for taking the time to visit our page...

The plan is to cycle ~2000 miles from Vancouver to San Diego. August to October 2015 -to be back in time for our friends' wedding on the 24th October!

At the same time, we want to raise awareness for Capstone Projects and funding for a new childrens home in Lugazi, Uganda.

Following our visit to Uganda in 2014 and reports from our friends Rob & Emma at the end of last year, it has become clear that the current Children's Centre is not fit for purpose and a new home needs to be built for the street children of Lugazi.

Capstone needs to raise ~£30,000 and whilst this seems like a huge figure, we want to help.

Our cycle trip is going to be a really challenging adventure and we hope that if you take the time to follow us on our journey that you will also give thought to helping out with this exceptionally worthy cause.
