Charity

Bishop Simeon Trust - The Bishop Simeon Trust, established in the UK in 1989, exists to support through education and development projects those most disadvantaged South Africans who still suffer from the inequalities and injustices of apartheid and its legacy, or who are most severely affected by the HIV/AIDS. The charity supports a large amount of HIV/AIDS community projects in South Africa where the pandemic has reached extraordinary proportions. As the number of infected people grows and the illness spreads, the number of people left in its wake also increases. Part of the work of eradicating HIV/AIDS therefore involves providing support, care and education for those affected in order to minimise their vulnerability to the illness.

Event details

The Race Against Time

27 June 2010

The Race Against Time is a unique endurance challenge. It involves a group of 10-16 cyclists going from Lands End to John O'Groats in just six days - that's an average of 145 miles a day, and a total of 874 miles in less than a week - to raise funds for a good cause. To date over £120,000 has been raised for HIV-AIDS projects in South Africa supported by the Bishop Simeon Trust. We have secured corporate sponsorship to cover all the costs of the ride itself, meaning that every penny raised by our cyclists will go directly to the projects in South Africa.


Only 0 days to go!

Hi, thanks for visiting my page.

You can imagine from the 'Event details' that to train for and ride 'The Race Against Time' demands real commitment; it's my contribution to the hopes and futures of thousands of innocent victims of the HIV-AIDS epidemic. For details of the projects and some horrifying statistics, as well as heartwarming stories, please visit the Trust's website.

You can support my efforts and make your own contribution by sponsoring me through Virgin Money Giving. Donations will be quickly processed and passed to the Charity. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this.

I really appreciate your support and sincerely thank you for any donations.
