ROKPA YUSHU EARTHQUAKE APPEAL SPONSORED EVENTS

See http://www.justgiving.com/rokpauk/raisemoney to help!

SPONSORED BIKE RIDE: Kathryn Morris is doing a Sponsored Bike Ride which will take place on 24 July 2010 - overnight riding from London to the coast!

Kathryn is riding from Camden in London to Dunwich, about 200km (120 miles) north east of London on the lonely Suffolk coast. We set off at about 9pm and ride through the night to arrive for the sunrise and a swim in the sea. The ride is called the 'Dunwich Dynamo', it's organised by a local London cycle group and is free to enter. Kathryn has never ridden that far before but had heard about it (it's a bit of a legend in cycle commuting circles apparently)

Kathryn taught at the Rokpa school in Yushu in 2003 and so wanted to do something to help after the earthquake.
