Team Nickelodeon UK To Take Part In The Toy Trust Isle of Wight Big Kids Bike Ride Challenge For The Special Bikes For Special Kids Charity

ToyNews, a monthly trade magazine for the toy business, is reporting the exciting Nickelodeon UK News in the following article that Nickelodeon UK staff members, along with 163 fellow bikers from the Toy Industry, are planning to undertake the Toy Trust Isle of Wight Big Kids Bike Ride challenge in an effort to help raise £100,000 for the Special Bikes for Special Kids charity, which provides custom-fitted trikes for profoundly disabled UK children.

The event, the largest charity fundraiser that the Toy Trust has organised to date, will take place on Saturday 8th June 2013.

In addition, a large supply of toys has been donated by Toy Trust committee member companies to the paediatric unit of nearby St Mary's hospital in Newport, Isle of Wight. They will be presented by Flair's Peter Brown.

This is an great event that deserves a lot of support. Nickelodeon wants to help the Toy Trust raise as much money as possible for the Special Bikes for Special Kids charity. Please donate as much as you can and remember every little helps and no donation is too small! You can sponsor Nickelodeon's Toy Trust Isle of Wight Big Kids Bike Ride Challenge team by donating money via the Toy Trust's online event page on Virgin Money Giving. Simply click here and then search for The Toy Trust.

If you cannot find a team or rider to sponsor then please send a cheque made payable to The Toy Trust to Matt Jones at the BTHA, 80 Camberwell Road, London SE5 0EG.

Founded by the British Toy and Hobby Association, the Toy Trust is the toy industry's charity which exists to raise money predominantly from the toy industry, its suppliers and friends; and distribute the money raised to charities helping disadvantaged and disabled children within the UK and abroad. You can find more information about the BTHA here on the organisations official website, btha.co.uk.

In 2012, Team Nickelodeon UK completed the Toy Trust Three Peaks Challenge to raise money for MEDICMALAWI, a small charity which is run by a group of volunteers and professionals 100km north of the Malawi capital Lilongwe who run a children's hospital and an orphanage for 50 children as well as a village school on a tiny budget of less than £110,000 a year.

Good luck to everyone riding in the Toy Trust Isle of Wight Big Kids Bike Ride event!:

Toy Trust nears £100k target for industry bike ride

Final push in sponsorship needed as 163 riders prepare for Isle of Wight challenge in June.

There's just two weeks to go until the Toy Trust Isle of Wight Big Kids Bike Ride - and the body is urging the industry to get behind as many riders as possible so it can hit its £100,000 target.

The event will be the largest charity fundraiser that the Toy Trust has organised to date - with 163 riders taking part from companies including Hasbro, Vivid, Character Options, LEGO, Tomy, VTech, ITV, Disney, Nickelodeon, Sky and The Entertainer to name just a few.

Taking place on June 8th, all money raised will go to the Special Bikes for Special Kids charity. It provides custom-fitted trikes for profoundly disabled UK children.

In addition, a large supply of toys has been donated by Toy Trust committee member companies to the paediatric unit of nearby St Mary's hospital in Newport, Isle of Wight. They will be presented by Flair's Peter Brown.

"The response from all areas of the toy trade to our fundraising campaign has been amazing," said Nick Austin, event organiser.
"However, we are still short of our £100k target so please, please sponsor today as many riders as you can for this fantastic cause.

"They deserve your support, as for many of them the 70-mile ride willbe a massive physical achievement."
