Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Tony Roberts from princess cruises, Robbie from choosing cruising and Giles Hawke are going to cycle 45 miles each way to the CLIA Cruise Forum and Winter Ball to raise money for the FHA. CLIA have chosen the FHA as charity partner for 2018 and has committed to sending 250 families on a short break in 2017.

FHA do an amazing job to allow disadvantaged families to have a break together. For many of the children this might be their first ever holiday and could be the first time they have seen the sea or been into the countryside. The benefits to young people and their families of having this chance to actually have a holiday, something most of us take for granted, cannot be underestimated and literally does change lives. Please give generously to help us reach our target

We will be leaving home at 0500 on the day of the conference and Winter ball and riding in the pitch black, and likely freezing cold, to get to Reading in time for the start of the conference. The following morning we will be heading off a little bit later back to Hampshire to complete the 90 mile round trip.

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

We would really appreciate any contribution that you can make to help the FHA continue their good work
