Story
For many years I have been over to Bulgaria to volunteer for the Star of Hope Foundation and have seen firsthand the wonderful work they do.
A non-profit, non-government charity organization they support predominantly abandoned children, orphans, children and adults with special needs and poor families. They have a specific need this year and it has to do with their minivan. It has been very useful all these years and their work would have been impossible without it.
In the last year they have been making constant repairs and it’s condition is deteriorating. They have been advised by specialists, they should sell it and find another minivan to work with. Additional to the constant repairs, its considered to be a potential risk for the children they use it for.
To help raise awareness and funds my friend Graham Hubbard (a.k.a.SupermechanicH) is attempting ten days back-to-back cycling. From Fri 24th May to Sun 2nd June inclusive. The target is to exceed 1000 miles in total. He is being helped to achieve this with a few of his cycling club friends.
Please help Graham, his cycling club friends and me smash our target. Thank you.

5 years agoA tired Graham Hubbard finished his cycling challenge on Sunday Evening 2nd June, completing 1,043 miles in ten days. Thank you to all those riders who supported him and helped the miles go by and to all those who have donated to the cause Graham was raising awareness for, The Star of Hope (Bulgaria) Mini Bus appeal. The Just Giving page will remain open until the end of June so if anyone still wishes to help us answer the prayers of those at the Star of Hope for a replacement van, please do. Thanks again to everyone. Brian
