Story
A great opportunity to support Standard Chartered and "Seeing is Believing". This year we will be cycling the first 3 stages of the Tour de France - 505km and 6296 metres - between 22 and 25 June. We are in fact taking 4 days, but after completing Stage 1 with over 200km through the Yorkshire Dales; we cover Stage 2 over 2 days - another 200km which includes the longest continual ascent in the UK; Stage 3 is a gentle 100km from Cambridge to London. Seeing is Believing is a great charity which helps people regain the gift of sight. Over 285 million people worldwide are either blind or visually impaired, 80% of which can be prevented. The opportunity to help people resolve preventable blindness and the suffering it causes for only a small amount of money is one that cannot be passed up. The average cataract operation for an adult costs only $30, and $16 will buy a child a pair of glasses, and so a little can go a long way. Every pound raised will go to those who are suffering with avoidable blindness and the impact will be massive. Every penny is match funded by Standard Chartered Bank. I'd greatly appreciate your support. Thanks in advance,
