More than a valuable addition to our funds

Wonderful news this year is that a respected publishing company have added AFTAID to the charities who will benefit from an ambitious sponsored bike ride.

The publisher, Fundraising Media produce the magazine RAISE, which provides invaluable information for groups and companies deciding which charities and campaigns to support. Each issue contains news and ideas on fundraising, legacies, volunteering, the environment and organic living. Whether a group is interested in growing organic produce to sell for charity, or running a marathon to fundraise for a good cause, RAISE and www.raisemagazine.co.uk are the ultimate source for people who want to make a difference.

It is therefore exceptionally well placed to understand exactly which charities will use the donations most effectively. We are thoroughly delighted to have their support.

We cover the lead up to the September 2010 ride2raise cycle in our Events section. This month a six strong team of amatuer cyclists will cover a 600 mile route from Box Hill, near Dorking, Surrey to the highest point in Edinburgh - Arthur's Seat, all in just six days!

The event is also supported by Club Together, a social networking website for clubs, societies and other local community groups that are involved in anything from group travel and coach trips to fundraising events and volunteering.

We wish them well and thank all those involved in the decision to benefit AFTAID's work as well as those who are putting in such hard work to create a successful event. Particularly special thanks go to the cyclists - may the wind be behind you and above all be safe.
