Cycling The Hebridean Way and Running the Lisbon Marathon

Support the Cycle to School projects - providing bicycles to students in Africa to help them attend school regularly and safely. Your support will allow us to provide bicycles, training and maintenance, and ensure the success of future students.

Story

From 9-13 September 2024, Glynis and Bruce are cycling the 380km length of The Hebridean Way in the Scottish Outer Hebrides, from Vatersay in the south to The Butt of Lewis in the north ...

AND

On 6 October Emma is running the Lisbon Marathon ...

... all with the goal of raising funds to support Re-Cycle's 'BICYCLES FOR STUDENTS IN AFRICA' campaign.

For many people living in parts of rural Africa, the average time spent walking to school or work, or collecting water, can be four hours a day. Re-purposing unused bicycles can make a world of difference in these communities. Re-Cycle works in partnership with four organisations across four different African countries, each one doing something inspiring and empowering with the bicycles sent to them. All own and run bike social enterprises, ensuring that the bikes provided can be repaired, distributed and maintained - sustainability is at the heart of Re-Cycle's work. The 'BICYCLES FOR STUDENTS IN AFRICA' campaign aims to provide life-changing transportation to students through the simple gift of mobility. Please join us in making a difference and helping create opportunities for a brighter future.
