Organisation: JustGiving - a great way to support any charity for travellers
JustGiving is a website that makes it easy for you to support a charity, and makes it clear that all the money raised is ONLY going to the charity, and not paying for your fun trip! As a result donations are much better, and payment is easy for the donating person, and easy for you to manage.
Over 8000 charities are already using JustGiving to raise more money. Find out why the charity you work for should start fundraising online.
Webpages, Facebook apps, text donations and more.
Highly recommended.
JustGiving

There are others too ....
Hi Grant : Just Giving are good and I have used them. There are others that do a similar job such as www.bmycharity.com (used them last year) and www.virginmoneygiving.com who I will be using for my efforts this year.
Unique feature of VirginMoneyGiving is that you can choose to support more than one charity and the proportion split of the money raised is done automatically by the site, including Gift Aid if you are UK Tax payer!
Best Regards
Simon

+1 for JustGiving which I had in addition to my hands-on missions to Malian orphanages.
JustGiving deal with the Gift Aid aspect too- Easy to use
You can add text describing your activity/ies and update that page as often as you like and add one photo too.

Charity motorcycle ride around the world
My wife and I are preparing to ride our motorcycle around the world in December this year. We are a Canadian Couple living in Africa for the past 20 years. We are currently building the only Sports Academy for Orphans in Zambia. We are surrounded by 5000 orphans with no direct help or chance to do much with their life. Most of their parents died of AIDS, as there are places where 50 graves a day are dug to bury the dead.

I don't really understand why giving to a charity if you have some options of fellow HU riders raising money for a personal charity...
Like we do, but there are others... Just my 2 cents...

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
