Roop Singh'S Epic Journey

ROOP SINGH'S EPIC JOURNEY

Sikh storyteller, Roop Singh is generally used to travelling the length and breadth of the country – providing a fun and educational consultancy to schools in and around the UK – This summer he’ll be making the journey with a difference; as his epic trip will see him making the journey, from Land’s End to John O’Groats – on a recumbent trike. As the first Sikh to take on the challenge, Roop has chosen to do this on behalf of three charities that he hopes will benefit from his feat. SikhNet, Great Ormand Street Hospital and Peddle for Parkinson’s. He explains, “I made a promise to myself on my 50th birthday to fulfil this lifetime ambition and attached some worthwhile reasons to it. The first, to raise environmental awareness, through the use of my trike, the second, to encourage more ethnic groups to become involved in stereotypical British activities and the third to raise money for some worthwhile causes”. Roop set about training for his challenge back in November last year and with the support of his family and friends will begin his epic journey on the 26th July 2010, covering approximately 1000 miles and visiting amongst many, Exeter, Coventry, Nottingham, his home city, Leeds and Glasgow.
