JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME
A BRITISH couple has raised £6k for Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity
by cycling from Vietnam to Scotland over the course of five months. “During our two years as junior doctors we have both seen the massively beneficial effects that this charity has on the young lives of those unlucky enough to be afflicted with illness early on in their lives. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/new...pital-charity/ -- Bod |

I am always suspicious of these charity rides since they often mean 'pay for our holiday and we will give whats left over to charity.' |

Is that it? Can junior doctors afford five months off just like that? I'm surprised that they can. Surely they'd have been able to do more for the charity by staying at work for five months and donating their salaries, or even half of their salaries? |

I hadn't thought of that, though I'm sure these two junior doctors were well-meaning and honest in their dealings. |

I plan to fly first class from London to New York, rent a luxury car and drive to Los Angeles staying in 5* Hotels along the way then fly first class back to London. Give me some money and if there is anything left I will give it to charity. |

Give me some money and if there is anything left I will give it to charity. On the Wirral we have an annual event called the Egg Run. It was supposed to be motorcyclists gathering Easter Eggs for children in hospital. Now it is just an excuse for moroncyclists to ride in a group and block roads. If they were really concerned about charity they would stay at home and donate the petrol money to their local hospital. Some of these 'charitable' riders travel 1000 miles to take part. |
