Thanks for taking the time to visit my page and see what I am doing.

 

This is the story behind why I have set up this JustGiving page.

 

This summer I will be taking part in a downhill mountainbike race in called the Megavalanche.  Whilst doing this I thought it would be a great opportunity to raise money for charity.  In particular my chosen charity of Re~Cycle. 

 

What Re~Cycle do is collect unwanted, second-hand bicycles, they then repair them and ship them to which provides a sustainable method of transport and enhances the quality of life for the people who live there.  When I first discovered this charity what I thought they were doing was great and made me realise how important transport was in a developing country and also the possibilities that something as simple as a bike could bring to peoples' lives.  I felt that it was really empowering for people to have their own transport that they could afford to run and maintain themselves.

 

By donating money to Re~Cycle it will allow them to continue their good work - being able to keep shipping bicycles over to Africa and changing peoples' lives by giving them the chance to lift themselves out of poverty.

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.  Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to Re~Cycle and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

 

So please dig deep and donate now.

 

Thank you for your support,

Charles
