Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

In January 2020, we will be embarking on a huge challenge to cycle 400km in 5 days around Tamil Nadu in India.

Having been to India on several occasions, it is heart-breaking to see these children in such terrible conditions with no-one to help them.

These children deserve to be given a chance and not ignored, being left to die young and be abused by the system......or by other people!

Mayur took part in his first challenge for Heal 2 years ago and he found it to be the most amazing and rewarding experience EVER!! Sundip will be joining him for this second challenge.

Thanks to his amazing friends and family, Mayur managed to raise over £2000! He was lucky enough to see exactly where and how the money was spent at first hand. The most prominent moment was seeing 3 children walk for the first time with the help of artificial legs which were made specially for them in the new limb centre at the school.

Mayur has some great stories and many wonderful pictures of the cycle ride and of the children at school. These children were so humble and are so keen and excited to LEARN.....Mayur wished his own boys were too!!!

We want to continue to give these children a chance and an oppurtunity with the fantastic help and support from Heal Charity (reg no. 101334) in its 25th year of providing shelter, education and healthcare for these orphaned and under-privileged children.

We also intend to self-sponsor two of these kids to help provide them with education for the next 2 years at least. Mayur has done this since his last visit and it has proved to be invaluable to those 2 children and very rewarding for him to be kept up to date with their progress.

The trip is entirely self funded, so all the sponsorships and donations received will go directly to the charity, of which all the staff involved are volunteers.

By taking part in this cycle ride (and we will also be staying on at the school for a few days), we hope to be able to make even the slightest contribution to this huge project by Heal which is growing every year and are aiming to help up to 10,000 children escape the poverty trap by 2020.
