Story

2015 is the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta by King John, persuaded by the Barons from 23 towns and villages across England. The shortest route between them is 800 miles.

I am the Town Clerk of Trowbridge in Wiltshire, one of the 22 Baron Towns, the largest with a town council and one of the few which has grown into a market and industrial town over 800 years.

I will be cycling the 800 miles in aid of two charities; Dorothy House Hospice Care and Re~cycle (Bicycle Aid for Africa). You can make a donation to both or just to one. Follow this link for my Dorothy House Hospice Care page www.justgiving.com/LANCE-ALLAN2

About the charity

Re-Cycle (Bikes to Africa)

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1063570
We collect used bicycles in the UK and we ship them, in containers, to people who need them in Africa. Some people living in rural African communities walk miles everyday to reach water, school, work or healthcare. Bikes are a sustainable mode of transport and help change lives for many families.
