Charity: What are you going to do?

We can help people in interesting ways. Some people run marathons and ask people to sponsor them. Then, they
give the money to a charity – for example, to help a hospital buy a new machine. Other people work for free. We
asked three people about their plans to help others.

I love cycling. So this year, I’m going to do the London to Paris bike ride. People
think I’m crazy, because I’ll have to cycle 500 km. I plan to do it in five days, so
I will need to be fast. I’m a bit worried about sitting on my bike every day. I‘ve
never been on a bike for so long before, but I want to raise money for charity.
My mum was ill this year, and I want to collect money for people who have the
same problem as her. A lot of people say that they will give me money if I finish!

I will have some time before university this summer, so I am going to work as a
volunteer! I won’t get money, but I will get a place to stay and some food. I love
animals, especially birds, and I am going to stay for one month on an island
called Skomer. It is off the coast of Wales, and there are thousands of beautiful
birds called puffins. My job will be to walk around the island, and count the
birds every day. I will also talk to visitors and check that the paths are clean
and safe.

My friend Mike and I are going to do something very big and crazy this year.
We are going on a journey in a tuk tuk! We are going to raise money for a
school in our town. A tuk tuk is a special kind of car, which you can find in
places like Thailand and India. It has a maximum speed of about 40 kph, which
is a bit faster than a bike. We are going to travel from London to India. That’s
about 7,000 km and it will take months and months. It’s going to be great!
