Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I've temporarily gone insane and agreed to cycle 200 miles over four days starting on 8th July 2009.   I haven't ridden a bike for ten years and I smoke so this is a massive challenge for me.  I understand that you must be inundated by sponsorship requests but I would really appreciate it if you would sponsor me and help raise money for this fantastic charity (please see below for more information).

Children's Hope UK

In a family of 5 live in one room of less than 18 sq ft. They share one bed and have no running water. Education is their life line from poverty. To qualify for the program, family income is less than £20 per month.

The charity provides education from age 11 through to University, along with additional support for the family by way of medical care and vitamin supplements. All for approximately £1000 per child!!

Funding confirms a comprehensive education and healthcare programme for 50 poor but bright children for the next 3 years. 14 of them already receive CH-scholarship (known as TG) for their outstanding results. Many are inspired by the opportunities given to them and are already aiming to reach the postgraduate level of education.

Malnutrition is the most common cause of illness among children, and also an important factor for underperformance in schools. Fashion Peddlars contribution has resulted in the introduction of the Nutrition Program for the first time.

40% of illnesses in are preventable. Most families cannot access the healthcare systems. Children’s Hope provides a comprehensive healthcare program; over the years this support programme has also saved many lives.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Children's Hope UK Ltd gets your money faster and, if you’re a taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
