Story
Grayson cycles Uganda!
I'm Grayson, aged 9 from Fochabers. I am going to cycle the equivalent of the length of Uganda which is 486km!
I want to raise money for Books Abroad, Books Abroad is a registered charity, which aspires to support education in developing countries worldwide by redistributing carefully chosen, second-hand books with over 4million sent out to date!

I am sending a pallet of 2500 books to Bunono Central School which is supported by the charity Uganda Aid person to person SCO36939.

Every child deserves an opportunity to read and learn and imagine through books, we are so lucky in this country to have access to Books at our fingertips. I hope to send these books over to give some more children the same opportunity because if we work together we can make the world a lot fairer for everyone.
Please help me make this dream of mine a reality, you know its the right thing to do! Me and my brothers have learned to build a longer table not a higher wall, and that we should all work together for what is right, and sending these books is the right thing for sure.
I am also collecting children's books on behalf of Books Abroad, all children's books welcome, please drop off any you no longer need to my house at 58 South Street, Fochabers or arrange with my mum to collect them.
