Enduro Africa 2007

Simon Stokes is going to ride a motorbike 2,500km across Africa, to raise money for *Riders for Health* charity. The donations will provide a motorbike and training for the charity that distributes aid and medicine to Africa's most difficult areas to reach. Each motorbike saves an estimated 20,000 lives. This blog is a commentary of my epic journey to (and then through) Africa, for all the right reasons...

Kickstart for Christmas...

Please make a donation (or donate £19 for each party ticket) ---->

It's time to kickstart fundraising and I can't think of a better way to do that than throwing a party.
Here's a copy of the flyer (I hope you can read it, but I've listed details below too)...


The party is on Friday 1st December from 7.30pm until around 1.30am. It will be at the Halo bar in Battersea Park Rd. There will be great music, some free drinks, lots of laughs and lots of lovely people.
We'll continue the "swap for a bike" on the night.

Tickets are £19 each (every 10th ticket is free) and you can pay by cash, cheque, or paypal donation - just click [Make a Donation] on the right and make sure you include your email. Tickets will be sent out at least a week before the event.

Please, please, please come along with a bunch of friends (and also spread the word). Any suggestions, requests and ideas are appreciated.

"Cheers"

Please make a donation (or donate £19 for each party ticket) ---->

Hibernation over...

Please donate now ---->

Phew... it's been a busy month (work-wise) so it's been quiet here... but it's getting better now so we're back. Firstly, another HUGE thank you to Ian and Sara for their donation. Extremely generous and really appreciated.

Now some more great news... we've got a venue for the first fundraising party. The Halo Bar in Battersea for Friday 1st December. Flyers being designed. DJ's being booked. Details being detailed. Watch this space. I'll post a flyer on here along with details of how to buy tickets.

Also, I've got a practice run in Cambodia in November of this year, visiting TC in Phnom Penh then biking out to temples and beaches for a few days. I'll post some updates on here...

Happy trails.
