Thank you for supporting the cycle for Leprosy Outreach!

The charity is a small one - for which I became a trustee in 2022 - that was set up by Margaret, a family friend, with the aim of eliminating leprosy in Nigeria.

Despite the infection having been largely wiped out across Europe, there are still some pockets of the world where it remains an issue. The infection is now curable with multidrug therapy but it is expensive for these areas to fund and maintain due to the poverty that is often found hand in hand with those who are impacted with the infection.

As a result, Margaret has been working with colonies in her native Nigeria, having grown up seeing the ravages of the condition first hand, to help support them with their living conditions and to provide medicine to help cure those suffering from leprosy.

Every pound that we raise will go a long way to helping the charity with their aims and, alongside this, BB&R will be fund matching the efforts!
