Cycle India - next event January 2012
Heal has now completed two Cycle India events in January 2008 and January 2010, and we are in the early stages of organising a further event in January 2012.
Cycle India has become Heal's single biggest fundraising activity having raised £180,000 over the two events, and crucially spreading a lot of happiness to the participants, children at the Heal Village and the people of India.
We have now decided to hold our third Cycle India event in beautiful Kerala in January 2012. We will be announcing dates, and an itinerary in due course. In the meantime, we are happy for people to sign up for the event now, or show interest by contacting Heal's Head of Fundraising, Matthew Glover by emailing him at matthew@conservatoryoutlet.co.uk.

We are looking for around 50 people from the UK, US and around the world to take part, along with people from India also. To take part we require everyone to register and pay a £250 registration fee to secure their place (click here). And then we require all cyclists to fundraise (or pay) £2500 to take part. The costs of the first two events have been around £1000 per cyclist (inc. flights, accommodation, bikes, food etc), so this gives our charity a profit per cyclist of at least £1750.
Cycle India is an opportunity for people to get fit, take part in a life changing experience in a beautiful part of the world while doing something very worthwhile for orphaned and underprivileged children in India.
