Story

Update: We set off for Spain on July 30th and start the pilgrimage on August 1st. Keep up with our progress at ogpilgrimage.blogspot.com

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

The Camino is an ancient route of pilgrimmage which wends its way for 500 miles across northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela. James Lombard, Oliver Lombard, Henry Trowbridge and myself are cycling this distance in August as a pilgrimmage and also to raise money for the Full Circle Fund for leukaemia, part of the St George's Charitable Foundation.

This charity is very important to us as St George's has provided excellent care for both Henry's father during his struggle with the illness, and a friend of ours, George Norton (OG), who is still receiving care in the Ruth Myles wing for leukemia.

Justgiving is a secure and convenient way of giving. They also sort out GiftAid if you're a UK taxpayer, reclaiming an extra 28% of your donation back from Gordon Brown. They do take a 5% or so 'administration charge', so if you would like to avoid this then donate by sending a cheque, made payable to "The Full Circle Fund ref: APNS" to Will Edwards, Magdalene House, West Cranmore, Somerset, BA4 4QL. Many thanks for your support.

 

Will, Henry, James and Oliver
