2023! We’re at it again: the indomitable Truants (& Heavy Metal Truants!) head south (as opposed to North and the rainy hell of Scotland last time!) at the end of this wretched month to Argentina & Uruguay for their latest ride for charity & glory!
Does it really matter how long it is? How many hills we climb, lakes we cross or beer we drink on the way? All that matters is that our charities – you know them by now – Nordoff Robbins, Childline & Teenage Cancer Trust – need us more than ever to continue doing their incredible work.
Please help me to help them with anything you can spare. It costs, for example, £4 for Childline to answer a call from a frightened child –that’s less than a pint these days… C’mon – once again support me to help them as, this month, we Truants cross an epic total of £5,000,000 donated – we couldn’t do it without you.
Thanks again you wonderful people.

The Truants are off for our 9th ride to Argentina and Uruguay in January 2023.
As always, fundraising for this event will be donated via The Truants Foundation equally to 3 UK Children's charities: Nordoff Robbins, Childline and Teenage Cancer Trust
All costs related to the ride are paid for by the individual riders so that 100% of the money donated goes to the charities.
