Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing to you to raise awareness and funds for the Stoikite Orphanage, Pamporovo, in Bulgaria.
The orphanage is currently full to capacity, the youngest child being 9 and the oldest 18 with a mix of boys and girls. Recently, temperatures were at minus 15 degrees outside the orphanage and inside was as low as minus 5.
The beds the children sleep in are damp, there is little bed linen, nowhere to dry the clothes, no lighting that works, frost on the inside of the windows, no hot water, communal showers with no privacy, no soap, toothbrushes, hairbrushes, towels, toilet paper, no warm clothing, they are living in dirty freezing conditions.
The Stoikite Orphange is desperate for a new heating system and currently they require 30,000 euros to put this in place.
The plight of the orphanage was brought to my attention while I was holiday in Bulgaria. I was advised to visit the charity web site, www.orphanagestoikite-bg.org. After reading this I was disturbed that Children in 2008 are living in conditions like this.
My main hobby is my Motor Cycle and to help raise awareness and funds, I am going ride my Motorbike & riding along side me my good friend Andy, from my home in Sheffield to the Stoikite Orphanage in Pamporovo. The ride will take place in August 2008 and I envisage the trip will take approx four days each way riding 500miles per day in total approx 4000 miles (6438 km) passing through 8 countries. The route being England-France-Belgium-Germany-Austria-Slovenia-Croatia-Yugoslavia & into Bulgaria. Part of our challenge is to sleep in tents and take as many provisions as we can carry on our motorbikes and to buy only essentials i.e. petrol, bread & water. The reason I am writing to you is to ask if you are willing to support me in this worthwhile cause.
I am looking for donations of money or you can donate any of the following: coats, sweaters, preferably fleece type, Jeans, T-shirts, footwear, hats, scarves, waterproof gloves, socks, underwear, nightwear, thermals, wash bags, tooth paste, tooth brushes, hair brushes, shampoo, shower, conditioner and shower gel, bedding, pillows, towels. first aid, toilet roll, lice lotion, school bags and stationery and note pads. There will be a van following us not to assist us but to carry any donations we have received.
Please help us make a difference to these children’s lives, it does not matter how small your donation is, any donation will be gratefully received. All sponsors will have their names printed on our shirts.
To make a donation please make cheques payable to Orphanage Stoikite Fundraising Club Appeal C/O. Weeping Ash Cottage, 51 Normanton Spring Road, Sheffield S13 7BA.
Yours truly,
Pete Doolan

Hi
I think this is a fantastic idea. Good luck  I work in a school and every year we do a shoebox appeal for children in Africa and have been keen to do one for the orphanage but never had any transportation. Would you be able to fit approx 70 shoeboxes on your van if I can get my school to agree to participate in this appeal? Then we could get the names of every child in the orphanage and send them a personal box containing toiletries and small items and a letter each from students in my school. I realise Sheffield is a long way from Portsmouth where I live but if I can get yours and the schools agreement then I am sure I can think of a way round the logistics. If you don't think you will have room thats fine.....am still hoping someone can arrange a container lorry to go over at some point. Hope you raise loads and enjoy the journey.
Dona

Good Luck and more to anyone who runs marathons.
I'm with TD - it's more lady like to glide down the road rather than pounding the pavements, knocking yourself out and ending up all sweaty  Prefer a rowing machine myself.
Sounds like it is all coming together

Hi Amanda
Andie is already onto publicity
I think the warm site is ready to support, once more details are available.
Not sure if there is room for you on the back, they are aiming to bring as much as possible for the children. May be able to squeeze a pack of salt and vinegar crisps in for you.

Pete and Bridget, I will be in Momchilovtsi, which is very near Pamporovo and Stoikite, in August so if there is anything I can do in advance for you, just say. I will be going back on 18 May so before I leave I will give you my BG phone number etc.
Please keep me up to date with interviews, reports and your planning so that I can add it to the Latest News & Updates page on our website.
Thanks for everything you are doing for the children - it is appreciated so much by all of us.

As soon as we have the summer board sorted so that replies return to the top I will paste this thread over to there. The winter board will quickly lose most of the posters now and the summer site will soon pick up to the same level of postings as this board has in high season.
Great work you Hells Angels Will do all I can to help you over on the Sunny Side.

Bridget, I spoke to a freelance journalist today who will try and get some coverage in our local paper, I have given him all the details, so fingers crossed.
Just a thought , have you approached TV media to see if they would be interested to film it, a mini "Long Way Down" - if Ewan and Charley were filmed, why not your boys

Bridget - are you planning to have a sponsorship form - if so can you forward a copy to me to put on the Orphanage website for people to print off etc. Also, if you have any update info re media attention etc the same applies.
Also, if there is anything I can do to help you in any way please just email me. Good luck to you all

Sheffield bikers' 4,000-mile trip to help orphans
By Amy Burns
TWO men, two motorbikes, eight countries, 4,000 miles and one worthy cause.
That's the challenge facing Sheffield bikers Pete Doolan and Andy Findlay who are planning to ride their beloved bikes to Bulgaria to raise money for a cash-strapped orphanage in Pamporovo.
Pete, of Normanton Springs Road, Woodhouse, was made aware of the Stoikite orphanage's plight while holidaying in Bulgaria – and he was shocked by the conditions in which the children live.
"The beds the children sleep in are damp, there is little bed linen, nowhere to dry the clothes, no lighting that works, frost on the inside of the windows and no hot water," said Pete, who runs P J Doolan Cutting Services.
"There are communal showers with no privacy, no soap, toothbrushes, hairbrushes, towels, toilet paper or warm clothing – they are living in dirty, freezing conditions."
The orphanage is in desperate need of a new heating system as temperatures can plummet as low as -15C – but they do not have the 30,000 euros needed to fund the home.
Pete and Andy, also from Sheffield, decided to do a sponsored ride from Sheffield to Pamporovo to help the orphanage.
Setting off in August, the 4,000-mile round trip is expected to take four days each way, passing through eight countries – England, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Bulgaria.
They will sleep in tents along the way and hope to be followed by a van full of supplies for the children.
Pete said: "The bottom line is the orphanage desperately needs money.
"So if people can help by sponsoring us to do this then that's great.
"If not, I'll do it anyway and give them my own money – either way, they'll get some help."
Pete and Andy are also appealing for donations of clothing, toiletries, bedding, first aid equipment and stationery for the youngsters.
Anyone who can help should call Pete on 07968 747419.
The pair have promised to list all sponsors on their T-shirts.
Visit www.orphanagestoikite-bg.org for more information about the orphanage.

Brilliant news
Let us know which port. I live close to the Dartford crossing M25/M2/M20 junction, so if you are using Dover, I could easily meet you with goodies.
We have just heard that the firemen in Leicester have agreed to take football goals for us, so hopefully they will be in place when you get there and you can play footie and cricket with them

Brilliant BG will do nearer the time, I feel like I've run a marathon trying to get everything in order, and yes it will feel great co-ordinating by the pool with plenty of liquid refreshment, lol. At the moment we are having people bring donations to the house on a set day Sunday's between 10 + 12 and storing as per requirements. But Pete is having to collect from the one's that can't drive.

Hi Bridget,
I have been away for a couple of days and catching up. Great news about E1000 - perhaps this should be mentioned separately on the website? and also about the goal posts.
Best wishes,
Carole

Hi Bridget - can you email me some details on BDS Trailers so I can put a link (or info) on our website to acknowledge their donation. I will also update the orphanage website to add the €1,000 donation that the boys have confirmed already.
Also, as I said on the other site you can keep me updated on your travels so that I can update the forums.
Can't wait to meet you in Stoikite
Andie xx

Hi Julie - I am going to "bump" with you lol.
Also, I am going to use this post as a reminder of another fundraising event which will be taking place later this month. TWO men, two motorbikes, eight countries, 4,000 miles and one worthy cause. That's the challenge facing Sheffield bikers Pete Doolan and Andy Findlay who are planning to ride their beloved bikes to Bulgaria to raise money for the orphanage in Stoikite
The guys have already raised ˆ1,000 and if you wish to sponsor the guys on this tremendous journey for the children, the sponsorship form can be viewed /printed on the following link or you can contact me to make a direct donation.
Thanks everyone for all your help - Andie x
Sponsorship form for Pete & Andy

Hi Ya, yes it's this Saturday, oh my god am so nervous and excited at the same time!! Washing, washing, and more washing as we won't have access to a washer on the trip. We have had so many donations of clothes, toiletries and 1st aid stuff that I would like to say to everyone that has donated a very very big thank you.
