We would like to thank each and everyone of you for your support of the Masi Bike Ride which took place last month.
The intrepid team of 16 plus back up support team completed the gruelling (for most, a few seemed to find it annoyingly easy!) ride across the hills and dales of Yorkshire and back again - a cumulative 2000 miles (over 3000 kilometres). Please find attached a few photos of the team as follows:- leaving on the first day, on route, doing their cooling down exercises at Bempton House after the first day, some of the team leaving on the second day and a convenient break at a friend's in York on the second day.
Peter and I are absolutely delighted that the efforts of the team have raised well over £3500, including gift aid this comes to over £4225! This far exceeds anything Peter had in his mind when he first suggested the bike ride last year. With regards to Gift Aid, we have assumed that you are all British tax payers unless you have explicitly told us otherwise. If this is not the case could you please let us know so that we can adapt our records and prevent us getting into trouble with the Inland Revenue!
We would like to thank again our corporate sponsors, Kent Building Developments for providing the tabards, solicitors Chadwick Lawrence and Squire Sanders for their corporate donations, Bempton House for post ride sustenance and 'Beauty by Alex Clarke' for the memorable post ride massages.
Once again thank you for your support of Masiphumelele; each and every donation will make a difference to life opportunities in Masiphumelele. The UK trustees are meeting at the end of next month and will decide on which projects and individuals this money will support.
With sincere thanks and best wishes
