Heal is looking for cyclists to do Cycle India 2008, to help raise funds in order to look after underprivileged children in India so they can look after them and care for them. 50 flights have been booked on an Emirate plane from London Gatwick to Hyderabad on January 2nd 2008 with return flights on January the 11th 2008.

Cycle for 5 days through the beautiful Andhra Pradesh countryside, approx 220 miles. It will be pretty hot, 25-30 degrees Celsius, and the requirement will be cycling about 50miles a day! During this expedition, if you are interested in joining you will experience the warmth of the Indian people, the beauty of the Indian countryside , will have the opportunity to explore parts of Hyderabad, and also visit the school that Heal help fund, called the Vivikenanda Public School public school.
