PEDAL POWER RAISES MORE CAN FUNDS!

CAN supporter Shane Harris is attempting to ride the 100 mile off road cycle challange  - the Montane Kielder 100 -  in September 2010 to raise funds for CAN. Shane tells us more about his ride.

"I've rather rashly signed up to attempt the Montane Kielder 100 on the 4th September 2010. Can I ride a 100 miles off-road in one day? The most I've done so far is about 65 - so one thing is for sure it's a challenge and it's going to hurt!
Back in 2006 I visited Eastern Nepal on a trek run by Community Action Treks and climbed the 6,225m peak - Teng Kongma (near Kangchenjunga) - with David Nightingale. Trekking and climbing in Nepal was one of my boyhood dreams and to realise it was magical. I was also inspired by the people of Nepal and when I returned to the UK I set up a monthly standing order to support the crucial work of Community Action Nepal.
In my bid to raise sponsorship through attempting the Kielder 100 (a few days before my 40th birthday - so it's sort of a mid-life crisis!) I hope to raise a larger sum to put back a bit more to this fantastic country and its friendly mountain people. If I can raise £500 pounds that will fund 2 months nursing / health care at one of CAN's 7 Health Posts serving remote mountain villages.

CAN Calendar 2010 

 Many thanks to Betty Hamer from Cumbria who designed, printed and sold calendars featuring photographs from her recent trip to Yala Peak (5850 m.), Langtang Nepal with her husband John and friends. They also visited CAN school projects in Langtang and Melamchigaun to see how funds are used in action. The money raised has been kindly donated to CAN. The trek and climb was organised by Community Action Treks. Here's Betty Hamer Himalayan Climber on the summit! (centre of pic).
