Noah's Ark Trust 1998
Noah's Ark helps to rebuild the lives of local children shattered by the death of a loved one. The devastation felt by children who experience a bereavement of a loved one is impossible to imagine. Yet every year, there are hundreds of local children who feel this anguish. The sole aim of Noah's Ark Trust is to support these children, helping them to come to terms with what has happened.

BENTHAM'S BIKE CHALLENGE

Fundraiser: 
Howard Bentham

My page: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/HowardBentham

Bentham's Bike Challenge will be on the roads of Herefordshire and Worcestershire from Monday 23rd through to Friday 27th August, 2010.

As part of BBC Hereford & Worcester's Love Lives On Appeal supporting bereaved children with Noah's Ark Trust, I am aiming to cover just under 300 miles in five days taking in as many of the cities, towns and villages across the Two Counties.

I will also present the Breakfast Show each morning from wherever our odyssey takes us live from the hotel, B&B or pub where we stay overnight.

It would be great to receive your support. You can cheer me on from the roadside or join me en route on your bike. But most importantly, I want you to give as generously as you can through this page.

Our station target is to raise £30,000. This will enable Noah's Ark Trust to continue to send a number of bereaved children on special outdoor activity weekends which are an essential part of the grieving process - and the money you donate will genuinely make a difference.

Please check out the route and more details on Bentham's Bike Challenge at www.bbc.co.uk/herefordandworcester

Listen to the Breakfast Show on BBC H&W from 6am - 9am for the latest on how my training is going and how you can be part of it!

Thank you

Howard
