Visiting ‘22 charities in 22 countries in 22 weeks’ the ‘Real Way Down’ is an expedition through human suffering and kindness. The project will support each of our partner charities (list of partner charities) through the production of promotional videos, as well as through financial donations, and in this way offers both immediate and long term support. The series of films will be broadcast on the ‘Community Channel’, as well as via our multiple media partners, and with other such initiatives, hopes to use innovation and creativity as a powerful tool within development.

Wheel Way to get Granted!!!

It's now half past midnight on the morning of the big cycle!!! I should be in bed, but have a childlike excitement about this weekends events, and the incredible news that Phil successfully managed to talk his way to a £1500 grant via the ISA Travel Award today!

My Bib knickers are at the ready, and I'm hoping that my prediction that 'cycling ain't really that bad on the knees' rings true, and thus mine don't cave in en route!! Leaving on a 170 mile bike ride already with an appointment at A and E determined on my return, is it little questionable, but hey ho, I have over £700 of sponsorship money to earn!!

We have tents, water, a support campervan, a camera, a cameraman, 5 bikes, 5 amateur cyclists, a lot of lycra, and the somewhat misguided belief that it will be lots of fun, and not at all tiring. Fun it shall definitely be, but I'm sure the level of bum ache will surprise a few!!!

Much much more will be written about the great news regarding the ISA Travel Award once the news has been fully digested, and at a more reasonable hour! Until then, we thank everyone for their kind donations towards the 'Wheel Way Down', and will be bringing you a short film of our adventure shortly.

Peace
