Story
We're going to be cycling 100 miles on a tandem from London to Oxford for Tom's Trust.
In January 2006, Tom, a former work colleague of Michael's, was killed on the way home by two teenagers in a random act of senseless violence.
Tom's Trust was established in Tom’s memory to help address the underlying causes of his tragic death and turn it into something positive and lasting. The Trust works with over a dozen highly effective organisations across London which succeed in making lasting changes to the lives of difficult-to-reach young people growing up in challenging circumstances by providing opportunities and raising their aspirations, thereby helping them to achieve their potential and to lead rewarding lives.
We believe that a donation to Tom's Trust is a particularly efficient way of helping to address the serious issues that lie behind its foundation. The Trust has no administration charges, and works hard to find effective charities which make a demonstrable impact in their area.
But of course more can always be done - which is why we wish to support Tom's Trust by taking part in this event.
Thank you very much for your support. It will make a huge difference to the lives of many young people.
