Story
On
the 17th April I will be attempting to hitchhike to Paris in a pair with my
buddy Walt. Our team name 'follow your nose' sums up our action plan on how to
get there. The aim - get there as fast as possible without spending any money
whilst raising money for charity. I would be grateful for any donations no matter how small as the money raised will be going to some great causes (take a look below).
We plan on wearing a ridiculous costume to raise
some eyebrows and awareness on the day. If you donate I will take into
consideration any costume ideas you have no matter how bizarre.
Before and during the hitch I will be raising
money for the four charities Bath RAG supports:
Time2Share
Supporting young disabled people in Bath and Somerset. Time2Share aims to reduce social isolation by recruiting volunteer befrienders to visit service users to build confidence and self-esteem. They run support groups where disabled young people can meet up with peers facing similar challenges, to have fun in a non-judgmental environment and organise regular social outings.
Jamie's Farm
Jamie's Farm helps children to flourish in education, at home and in the community. The unique 'family, farming and therapy' transforms the lives of vulnerable inner city children, acting as a catalyst for children to make positive changes, and supporting their teachers to make a lasting difference.
Forever Friends
Forever Friends raises funds to support thousands of patients cared for at the RUH, Bath. Currently supporting the Cancer Care Campaign we plan to build a new cancer centre at the hospital to benefit the 2200 new patients treated here each year.
Unseen
Provides emergency 24-hour accommodation at our 8-bed safe-house for female survivors of human trafficking. Unseen aims to combat modern day slavery and supports frontline projects which protect vulnerable people from becoming enslaved.
