Becky & Ray - HEAL Cycle India 2018 page

HEAL Cycle India 2018 · 9 February 2018
In less than a month we will be setting off to India for this HUGE challenge!! We will cycle 250 miles, over 5 days, from Mysore to Mangalore in order to raise money for the HEAL Charity.
Now entering into its 25th year, HEAL is a UK charity committed to providing shelter, education and healthcare to children most in need. HEAL currently has a number of different projects supporting over 1500 orphaned and underprivileged children in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
The longest running project is the HEAL Children's Village in Guntur - a project that Becky visited as a volunteer back in 2012. The village provides a loving home and a supportive education to around 100 orphans and children from a range of deprived backgrounds. Many of these children have gone on to pursue further education and foundations for careers in fields such as engineering, through the support of HEAL.
Since visiting in 2012 Becky fell in love, not only with India, but with the fantastic HEAL children. She returned in 2015 to the HEAL Paradise Village project which is currently still under construction. The HEAL Paradise centre will ultimately be home to over 10,000 children from nursery through to college, and beyond. Facilities include the Paradise school, vocational training centre, institute for the blind and much more to come!
Returning for her 3rd trip to India and HEAL, this time Becky is taking along Dad (Ray) and his creaking knees (!!) for the HEAL Cycle India 2018.... We're both feeling quite nervous about the challenge ahead, but we know very well that the money raised will be going to a fantastic cause.
(As a small charity, HEAL is run entirely by volunteers in order to ensure that not a penny of donation is wasted in administration fees. Equally, NONE of the money donated goes towards the trip costs for Becky or Ray - this is self funded separately)
We would be very grateful for any donations received...and please wish us luck!!
