The entire ride is supported, organised by and for the benefit of, The William Wates Memorial Trust a grants giving registered charity set up to help disadvantaged young people fulfil their potential, and stay away from a life of crime, using the mediums of sports, arts and education. Any donations, big or small, will go a long way to support an organisation that does a lot of good work throughout the UK.
WWMT exists to celebrate the life of William Wates (1977- 1996) who was tragically killed when travelling in South America. His family set up the trust to shine some light into the lives of young people who have not had the advantages that Will enjoyed and we feel the aims of the trust reflect where his interests would have been if he was alive today. Since 1998 WWMT has donated just over £1 million and helped over 8,000 disadvantaged young people fulfil their potential. Please have a look at their website www.wwmt.org to find out more about the amazing charities that WWMT have supported.
In order to participate in the Tour I have made a commitment to raise £1,200, and I need the help of friends and family (or even friends of friends) to reach this goal. I have an online donation page set up here. There are obviously many organisations out there fundraising for worthy causes, but I hope that you will sponsor me by giving a generous donation to WWMT. Whether large or small, any donation amount is welcomed.
For more information please see the website at www.wwmt.org or speak to Rick Wates on 07721 411 329.
