Tarsus participates in charity bike ride

The charity is a partnership of companies and individuals from the events industry, formed to support Namuwongo, a slum community on the edge of Kampala in Uganda. This year Events for Namuwongo plans to raise 400,000 GBP to provide: clean water, life-saving sanitation, essential health care, education for 500 children a year, and free sanitary products. The money raised in the past and for this year’s challenge is needed for continued improvements of living conditions in Namuwongo.

In preparation members of the team have hired personal trainers, cycled to work and spent many hours on their bike to build stamina. There have been scrapes and falls but the whole team is in great spirits and training hard for the big weekend.

April Whitehead, secretariat for Events for Namuwongo, said: ‘Events for Namuwongo is extremely grateful to Tarsus staff or all funds raised to date.  This new cycling challenge is the most ambitious yet and so is the fundraising target of 20k GBP!  The enthusiasm and commitment from the Tarsus Team and others from the Events Industry taking part in the London to Paris bike ride are incredibly inspiring, and we are right behind them every peddle push of the way!’ 

Tarsus and its team aims to raise 20,000 GBP for ‘Events for Namuwongo’. Please show your support and give generously at: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/londontoparis14
