British man, Stuart McCoy, has just returned to Britain after cycling over 3500 km
Afor charity. His journey took him from London to Athens via Paris, Munich, Vienna
and Belgrade. I interviewed him yesterday.
What made Stuart embark on such a long and arduous journey? "Well, I'm a student,"
he said. "I had nothing to do in the summer vacation, and badly needed exercise, but I
also wanted to do something for others, and that's really what made me do it."
He first thought of raising money for an animal charity. Then after watching a TV
programme, he decided half of the money would go to a children's charity. "But half way
through my journey, there was a terrible earthquake in China and I immediately decided
it would all go to Chinese earthquake victims."
How much did he raise? "Friends and relatives donated about £1000 in all, and while I
was travelling, generous people gave me another £500. But half of my total amount came
from my university, which promised to double what I raised myself. So, in total £3000 -
not bad for four weeks cycling.
Not bad at all. So, did Stuart cycle back to London too? "Of course l did," he laughed.
"No, I gave my bicycle to a children's charity in Greece and came back by train. My dad
offered to buy me an air ticket, but I also believe in 'green' transport so I decided against
flying."
And Stuart's next journey? He smiled, "Well, I suppose it's possible."
Would he get a better bike or do it in a cooler season - spring, for example? "Well, my
bike was fantastic and I'm only free in the summer, but I think I'd rather not go on my
own next time"
