Story

Hi, 

I want to take on a challenge to raise money for children less fortunate than myself, as part of my upcoming Barmitzvah. Many families do not have enough funds to supply their children with all the equipment they need to start the new school year. So I am taking on the challenge to bike around London with my Dad. As we love to play Monopoly, we are going to ride our bikes to all the locations on the Monopoly board, including the water works, and the go to jail locations. This will take approx. 3 hours to do and will cover 28 miles. My bike challenge will take place on Sunday 19th September. 

Many local families are unable to afford to equip their children adequately for the new school year.  Together with the charity GIFT, I aim to supply approx 50 local children with  backpacks for school, to include all the necessary equipment they need for the new academic year. This will include stationery, and scientific calculators, colouring pencils, pens, pads, geometry sets, water bottles etc. This will provide  these children the confidence to start the new year not feeling different to their peers. I am supplying this prior to school starting, so please help me raise much needed funds and your generosity is much appreciated. 

Many Thanks

Oliver x
