At Book Aid International we share the power of books with millions of people globally. Every year we provide over 1 million brand new, carefully selected books to thousands of communities where people have very few opportunities to read, and work with our partners to support & establish libraries.

Story

We did it!

300 miles of cycling over four days complete! Thank you so much to everyone who has sponsored us and helped to raise over £3,600 for Book Aid International! It has meant a huge amount to us both to have such amazing support and encouragement from our friends - especially during our training when it felt like we'd never manage it. But we did! It was a great experience with lots of brilliant people who raised a phenomenal amount for some amazing charities. The money you've sponsored us will help Book Aid International send 1,800 brand new books to libraries in sub-Saharan Africa which is just brilliant.

Thank you again, from us and from Book Aid International!

Just off to update our blog with one final entry where you can read more about how it all went! http://blogspot.pedallingpinders.com
