WE HAVE DONE IT!!!
Thank you to all of you lovely people who have given so generously to Through the Roof by supporting me on my London to Brighton Bike Ride. We had a great day with ideal weather. IN between the cycling there was a lot of queuing involved on the day even trying to get past the official starting line, then at the usual bottle neck areas but unfortunately also when accidents had to be dealt with by the medics. Our little group was kept safe from any nasty incidents and it was lovely to take in the beautiful English countryside along the way.
So once again, many thanks!!
Love Meike
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Many of you will know that I have been involved with Wheels for the World (Part of the Charity Through the Roof) for many years.
Wheels for the World collects unwanted or donated wheelchairs and has them refurbished, checked for safety and resprayed in prison workshops before they are sent out in containers to different countries where wheelchairs cannot easily be obtained or are unaffordable.
A team of therapists, technicians and administrators then travel out to to set up wheelchair clinics where the chairs have been sent, to assess and adjust the wheelchairs to individual requirements.
Since 2000 I have been to Albania, South Africa and many times to Kenya, where I have seen lives of individuals and the circumstances for whole families changed through a wheelchair but also through the offer of a Bible and the love of God through actions.
If you want to know more about the charity and its work in England, look up www.throughtheroof.org and go to 'Our Programme' and 'Wheels for the World' for the overseas wheelchair distributions.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
