Another mission accomplished helping our new friends at Dorset Children's Foundation! Superstars Manu, Lea, Keith and Nicola AKA 'The Cycle Gang' started their Misson by helping Simon load his van with donations at the DCF Charity shop in Pokesdown. Sue, Daryl and Caprice started at the Charity's warehouse moving a mountain of bagged clothes ready for the van to arrive for the switcharoo. Once finished loading the van The Cycle Gang then raced Manu and Simon in his van to the warehouse to help unload and reload with the clothing donations. They were super speedy and what a gorgeous day for a bike ride! With the team reunited they all got stuck in unloading and the reloading the van at the warehouse. Lea then excitedly crushed some cardboard boxes with the help of Manu and Keith. Simon asked for some volunteers head back to the Charity shop to help him with some more donations. The Cycle Gang to the rescue!! They then raced Simon back to the shop to help unload and reload the van. They even cycled back to the warehouse to meet the rest of the gang to unload the van, what troopers!! Dorset Children's Charity have been inundated with donations and have been working flat out trying to sort through everything and were extremely grateful for our help. They said that it would've taken 8 hours to do what we accomplished!! Needless to say will be back very soon to help Simon and Patsy. Many hands make light work!
