Intrepid Cellist's Charity Cycle

 

MAS Client, Jane Fenton is to embark on a 341km journey across northern India.  Jane will be taking in rarely visited villages in Rajastan and a spooky night in a deserted ghost town, the abandoned Royal city of Fathepur Sikri.

 

All this is in aid of the disabled children's charity “whizz-kids” which provides mobility aids to children from 0 - 18 years.  Jane aims to reach her £3,000 target by 1st April.  In addition she has designed a “get fit” form as a way for people to raise money for charity and get into shape at the same time!

 

Can you help?  All donations are very welcome and “Get Fit” forms are available from Jane on 0181 355 8463.
