Hadrian's Coast 2 Coast Cycle Challenge · 14 August 2010

Toybox – changing the world for street children. Committed to ending the global injustice of children living and working on the streets. Our vision is of a just world in which no child is forced to live or work on the streets. Your support will transform the lives of vulnerable street children.

Story

I'm cycling around 150 miles from Whitehaven to on 14-16 August, but really that is irrelevant. What I am doing is raising funds for Toybox and the street children of  because I know it makes a difference. I have seen children without anything, destitute and living on the streets. And I have seen children transformed by the people and local projects Toybox seeks to support.

I’m doing it for children like Jenifer. Two years ago, one November afternoon, a woman escaping from her violent husband knocked on the door of a children’s refuge in . She left her six-year-old daughter there, and carried on running...

Jenifer is just one of the many children who are abandoned or run away from violent home lives. Without places of safety and security, these children would likely end up living on the streets. She recently said "Here they tell us that dreams can become true..."

I have seen the real difference the work of Toybox and our partners in makes to children like Jenifer and that’s what motivates me

I would really appreciate your sponsorship

God bless you

Andy .
