Story

Between 1- 11November this year, I and 13 others will be cycling from Bundi [near Delhi] to Bhopal, a distance of 430kms, to raise money for the Bhopal Medical Appeal. Most of you will remember the Bhopal disaster but to put it simply this was probably the worst chemical disaster the world has ever suffered. Thousands died in the immediate aftermath of the disaster but the greater tragedy is that thousands are still suffering as a result of that ‘accident’ and the fact that those with responsibility never accepted it [additional information http://www.bhopal.org/] . This ride will help sponsor the Sambhavna clinic and help address these ongoing medical problems. Personally I‘ve never been much of a biker but this is too good a cause not to help so I am really grateful for all and any donations. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Bhopal Medical Appeal will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. Many, many thanks for your sponsorship and if you keep up with the web site above you may well see pictures [video?] of this worthwhile challenge. Thanks again, John Appleby
