Techbikers 2015 · 18 September 2015
Please support my campaign and help us build a school in Nepal - (Google will match every dollar you donate!)
For the 4th year, 70 TechBikers are going to be cycling 320km from Paris to London to raise money for kids education in the places they need it most, supporting Room to Read. I'll be joining the ride on Sunday, cycling 107km from New Haven to London. I'm definitely not in shape, but I wouldn't miss it for the world.
We've built 3 schools, 5 libraries and supported 3,000 girls with scholarships in Nepal, India and Cambodia in past 3 years. This year the needs are bigger than ever.
Please support me with however much you can give. Why? To support Room to Read's work on a cause I strongly believe in: providing children with an education. Focusing on childhood literacy is one of the most effective ways to improve living standards across the globe.
Four years ago, I started Techbikers with two goals in mind: (1) bring together the startup ecosystem (2) make an impact on the lives of those who need it most - children. We started with a humble group of 50 riders in 2012, and now on the 4th year, have had 240 riders enrolled, over £170,000 raised for Room to Read and new chapters springing in Ireland, Germany and very soon the US. We could not have done it without your support.
WHERE WILL YOUR DONATION GO?
All your donations will go straight to Room to Read, who have received the coveted Four Star Rating from Charity Navigator nine(!) years in a row. About £12,000 will be used to rebuild a school in Nepal that was built in 2013 using TechBikers funds. The rest will go where the need is greatest.
WHAT'S TECHBIKERS?
Techbikers brings together the London tech startup community to help children in need by supporting literacy charity Room to Read. Since 2012, over 120 entrepreneurs, VCs, and other tech enthusiasts have cycled 960km to raise $265,000 for this fantastic charity, and built a school, a handful of libraries, and supported the education of over 3,000 girls as well as training program for local teachers in Nepal, India and Cambodia.
