Hi There, 

Harry Hogarth and Andy Gilbert (with help from some friends) are cycling from Calais to Lausanne to raise money for the Village of Hope project in Grabouw, Western Cape of South Africa.

We are planning to make the 450 mile trip over 6 days from 26th June, 2011.

The Village of hope seeks to help children infected or affected by HIV, AIDS and TB in two different ways: they have a 9 bed childrens unit to support those infected by HIV and AIDS and they also run community-based sports (football/netball) and lifeskills outreach in the informal settlements and squatter camps each afternoon.

Here is a link to their blog where you can read more about the amazing story behind the VOH.

We appreciate that money is tight, but whatever you can give goes straight to help the children in SA - and every £1 you give makes a huge and immediate difference.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks and God bless you,

Andy & Harry
