Hello!
I have made the somewhat terrifying decision to cycle 1000km from Paris to Nice over the course of the next week. This plan may be somewhat optimistic in view of a total lack of training and a lot of stag dos of late, but I live in hope!
Rather belatedly, I thought this would be a great opportunity to raise some funds for a wonderful charity in Bangladesh called The Sreepur Village before I leave Dhaka.
Started 26 years ago by a British Airways flight attendant, Sreepur Village is a non political organisation that cares for up to 100 destitute women and 500 abandoned children. The charity works with them to provide the health, knowledge, and skills they need in order to function independently in society.
They do phenomenal work and I cannot stress enough what a great cause this is. For example, three years ago Sreepur took on 170 children orphaned by the Rana Plaza garment factory collapse, finding them foster parents and supporting them financially. Some of those who grew up in the centre have gone to university and returned to work at the village. Do have a look at their website.
Please could I ask you to give generously to this worthy cause. Your money really can make a tangible difference in a country that has made great strides in poverty reduction and meeting its millennium development goals in recent years.

And, of course, ANY donations however small will be a HUGE motivation for me to make it to Nice! :)
Thank you XX
