Vegan Cycle India 2020
Campaign by Veganuary (RCN 1168566)
A group of Veganuary supporters are heading to Kerala in India for two six-day cycling challenges, across two weeks, to raise funds for our work creating a kinder world for animals and a healthier planet!

Story

We are cycling 244 miles (392km) in Kerala this coming February !

None of us are avid cyclists so it is going to be a huge challenge for us with lots of training to fit in around our working lives! We have all been saving up to fund the cost of our trip and now need as much help as we can to raise money for our chosen non-profit charity. All Carbon emissions from our flights will be offset. 

Veganuary are the biggest organisation in helping people go Vegan or simply reducing their use of animal products and adding more plant based meals to their diets. 

In turn this is hugely beneficial for the environment and lowering your carbon footprint, shown to be good for your health in reducing chances of numerous cancers, heart disease, strokes, diabetes etc and lowering our contribution to the catastrophic suffering of animals, incurred during the quick turnaround of mass farming. 

Having researched over a number of months (some links below) we decided to support Veganuary last January and attempted to eat a Vegan diet for one month to see how it would go. We did this and have been on an animal free diet since. This has miraculously improved our general health and had a positive impact on our mental health too - helping us to feel more grateful and compassionate. Having been inspired to make the change we were keen to support the organisation further.

I am so happy to be part of this experience and to raise money for a cause which helps millions of people and animals. If you could afford a few pounds to help and support us it would be greatly appreciated !
