Nominated charities link

Disasters, diseases, cruelty, abuse and poverty sadden me, as I'm sure it does most people.  It inspires me to do rides like these to benefit people and animals who are not as fortunate as me.  As much as I'd like to help lots more charities at the same time, it is not possible to do so, other than give them spare change.  For the first ride, I have chosen two charities close to my heart.   Although I do not own any pets or have children of my own I know friends and family who do, so I know how wonderful each are.  I will be nominating two different causes for each and every ride.

Recent events like those in Asia put it into perspective how lucky I am but realise that although these sad events happen, animals are still being abused and abandoned during this time.  I strongly believe that animals have feelings and can feel abuse like us.   Some babies and children have special needs and have rare conditions which require specialist equipment.  I have provided a link to the two respective websites, so please click on them to obtain further information on why they need funding etc. 

On behalf of the charities below, we would really appreciate it if you could use the secure online donation facility to pledge as much money as you can.  Thank you so much.
