Story

Thank you for visiting my page and helping me raise money for Shelterbox.  They deliver boxes of aid which contain everything a family needs to survive after a disaster (tent, water purification, lights, blankets etc).  Each box costs £590 and my goal was to raise £1180 which would get 2 boxes of shelter to help 2 families if disaster strikes their homes.

I planned to start in Land's End and cycle as far east as I possibly could.  I promised to do at least 100 miles, which I did, and then I kept going all the way to Ness Point in Lowestoft, which is the most easterly point in England (around 500 miles and a lot of mud and hills)!  Thanks to everyone's amazing support we smashed my first fundraising target, and the next and the next, so I've put it up to 10 boxes!  Each box supports a family of 5, so 10 boxes would help 50 people!  Please help me get the 10th box - thank you so much.

Thank you!  Emily (age 10) xxx
