I'm working with a group of friends to organise a small fund raising event for an 11 year old boy in need of a tandem bike.
Now before you stop me right there, I'm not looking for money from any of you! What I am looking for though, is a few quotes from avid cyclists about why cycling is so important to them. I couldn't imagine my life without a bike, and I'm sure you guys feel the same.
The boy we are helping was born with retinoblastoma, a form of eye cancer. He has recently become completely blind at the age of 11. He has done bike ability training on a tandem, and enjoys riding, but his family can't afford to buy one themselves. I will be writing to my sixth form's head master and in the schools news letter to get the go-ahead for a non-uniform day, where everyone brings in two pounds to put towards the cause. I want to include in the letter some quotes from avid cyclists, and I'm turning to you for help!
So, what does cycling mean to you? What do you love the most about biking?
If you would be kind enough to take a moment and leave a message, not only would I be much obliged, but you could help make a huge difference to a young boy's life.
Thank you.
