Thanks for visiting this fundraising page - the aim is to raise money for humanitarian relief in Gaza following the Israeli military offensive earlier this year.

All money raised by this page will be directed to the TUC's aid programme in Gaza working with the Palestine General Federation of Trade Unions (PGFTU) and the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF).

You can find more information about the TUC's programme at http://www.tuc.org.uk/international/index.cfm?mins=265

To encourage donations I am going to cycle to Usdaw's Annual Delegate Meeting which is being held in Blackpool from Saturday 25th April. I will be leaving London on Thursday 23rd April after calling in at Usdaw's London Office and TUC Congress House. I should arrive in Blackpool on Friday evening. The bike ride will be unsupported and will be about 260 miles.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: TUC Aid gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
