A WIRRAL man is cycling 350 miles from London to Paris to raise money for orphans in Cambodia.
Steve Robinson, 28, from Birkenhead, who has recently moved to London, is doing the charity ride with his girlfriend Nicole Spaude, over three days from April 18 to 21.
The couple’s target for The Cambodian Children’s Charity – Cam Kids is £3,000, they have so far raised £2,099. Cam Kids provides support to orphans, street children and those living in poor rural areas, plus youngsters affected by natural disasters such as flood or famine.
Steve told the News: “I went to Cambodia with a friend last summer and visited an orphanage in the Siem Reap region of Cambodia. The experience was overwhelming and I will never forget the faces of the children, smiling though they have very little. Some mornings, the staff would wake up to find a child as young as three at the front gate, this was when it really hit home to me. I cannot imagine what they must be going through.
“Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in the world. Nicole and I want to help such a great cause. Every child deserves a good start in life so all support, however small, can help give them the start they so deserve.”
