A Tale of two charities

We have been thinking for a long time about which charity to fundraise for. A big adventure like ours is a serious undertaking and if we can support and raise some money for a good cause alongside our ride then that can only be a really good thing. After some thought, we have decided to fundraise for two charities, a local charity and an international one. The two charitys which we have decided to support are the Royal Berks Charity & SOS Children's Villages.

The Royal Berks Charity is the fundraising arm of the Royal Berkshire Hospital in the centre of Reading. The Royal Berks Charity provide funds to provide better facilities for patients and visitors, purchase the most up to date equipment to improve the heathcare of its patients and supports rebuilding and refurbishments of the hosptal. This hospital is in the heart of reading and by fundraising for Royal Berks we can put something back into the community.

SOS Children's Villages is an international charity who aim to re-home orphans and abandoned children in disadvantaged communities across the world. They have set up children's villages where these children can be looked after by a local community and give them the framework for a future. Alongside this SOS Children's Villages provide healthcare and disaster relief in over 120 different countries. Alongside fundraising for SOS Children's Villages we aim to visit some of their key sites and see their work first hand.

We have created a Justgiving link to our fundraising site, so please can you support our ride by choosing to support one of our chosen charities. Any support goes straight to the charity and every penny counts.
