Cycle India 2010 – We’re now recruiting

We’re now looking for cyclists for Heal Cycle India 2010. If you fancy a real challenge, and would like to raise money for our charity then please read on.

After the resounding success of Cycle India 2008, where 30 cyclists from the UK, US and India raised £100,000 for Heal by cycling through the beautiful countryside of Andhra Pradesh, we have now begun recruiting a far bigger event this time.

We’re looking for around 50 people from the UK to sign up for this event, and commit to raising a minimum £2500 in order to take part.

This is a great way to experience the real India, and this time we will be cycling through Karnataka in the South of India. We will be visiting Bangalore and Mysore, and cycling through the picturesque Coorg area.

If you are interested in taking part then we have created our Cycle India website:

http://www.cycleindia.org/

We will be updating this website continuously with the breaking news, information for cyclists and updates for those taking part.

To give you an idea of the type of things you would experience, then please visit our Cycle India Gallery or watch the Cycle India Videos

Cycle India 2008 Update

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

Archive 2007

The plans for Heal’s most ambitious fundraising event – Cycle India 2008 – are taking shape.

As of 18th September, 2007, we have 22 UK participants signed up for the 220 mile bike ride through Andhra Pradesh, although there is still space for two or three more daring individuals to add their names.

In June 2008, Dr Koneru Prasad (Founder), Mr Carl Brodie (Chairman) and Matthew Glover (Head of Fundraising) flew out to Andhra Pradesh to plan the route and make the necessary arrangements. There is real excitement from the locals of the region with a number of Indian cyclists taking part and helping with the organisation of the event.

The adventure includes a boat trip down the picturesque Godavari river, 4 days cycling through scenic coastal areas and then two days meeting the children at the Heal Children’s Village in Guntur.

The cyclists are currently getting fit and trying very hard to raise the minimum £2500 sponsorship figure.

If you are interested in taking part or helping our Cycle India project in any way please contact matthew@conservatoryoutlet.co.uk
