The Charity

Yesterday i went hunting for a worthy cause to rise money for in order to put an extra spin on this journey.

For me the charity idea wasn't an initial thought. I just really wanted to test myself, but family and friends have been asking whether i am raising money for a charity so i thought it might just be a good idea afterall. Helping others is simple.

So the charity i chose were Sustrans, sustrans is the UKs largest sustainable transport charity, who are helping people choose to live a car free lifestyle by promoting the use of active transport by opening up and maintaining cycle networks and the like. This seemed very similar to my way of thinking for this trip (not using a train) and i wrote them an e-mail yesterday asking if they want to be involved. will let you know what they say, once i have received a reply.

In the meantime, check out there website www.sustrans.org.uk
