Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Rukiga is a very poor, mainly rural community in South West Uganda with a similar sized population to our community in Ickenham in northwest London.

We have been twinning with them for over ten years now, regularly supporting fifty children through their educational years and sponsoring them into apprenticeships,  vocational training and university.

Ickenham also supports a range of other projects in the community but our fundraising has been hit hard by Covid.  My aim is to raise at least £500 to help our friends to get through their Covid emergency.

The funds will be used to supply basics to families who have lost even their pittance of an income because of Covid lockdown.

I aim to ride at least 10 miles on each of 10 rides, completing 100 miles plus before Christmas.

Please help.
