Cycle India
In January 2008, a group of adventurous individuals took part in Cycle India 2008, the most ambitious fundraising event our small charity has ever undertaken.
And it was a great success!
The team consisted of 20 UK cyclists, 3 from the US, and a further 8 local people from Andhra Prasdesh, making the charity bike ride a real international event. There were also 8 further non-cyclists from the UK who were there for support, and to help film and photograph the whole event. We have an extensive gallery of pictures you can view on this website, and a mini-documentary showing the day to day events.
We raised over £100,000 for Heal, which will be used for helping develop a new project in Andhra Pradesh, and helping provide more children with health and education. In addition to fundraising, the event provided an opportunity for people from the UK, US and India to work together to create an event which succeeded on so many levels, not least the spirit of friendship which developed amongst the team members and their supporters.
