London to Brighton in honour of Sebastian Eubank

On Sunday September 19th I’ll be taking part in the London to Brighton bike ride in memory of Sebastian Eubank. 

Before Sebastian’s untimely passing he had set up a Go Fund me page in order to raise funds for an orphanage in a country that had become very close to his heart, Sudan. 

As a family we are in the process of establishing a foundation in Sebastian’s name to continue his mission and legacy but in the meantime we are raising funds to reach his initial target of £10,000! 

Thanks,

Kris.

Below in Sebastian's own words are why he started fundraising.

"Dear Friends,

 

My name is Seb Eubank and I'd like to ask for your help. I am sponsoring one of Sudans very over crowded and under funded orphanages. Myself and friends decided to take the orphans what we thought would be helpful, including: soft blankets, nappies, wet wipes, some biscuits etc. But our individual efforts are not enough. I posted on my Instagram which can be found @sebeubank a few short videos of my trip to the orphanage in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. Immediately i was receiving messages asking how people can help and get involved. So i thought, why not make my first GoFundMe. It's a blessing to improve even one childs life.. But together we can do a lot more. £1 goes such a long way in Sudan you wouldn't believe! These children could desperately use our help. What do they need? They need curtains to block out the intense sunlight, and mosquito/fly nets. They need Arts and Crafts materials to make their own creations to decorate their orphanage with. The walls are ugly old tiles, they need a fun, vibrant, nursery decor. Before we get them the tools to create we must set up stations for them to create on! At the moment they don't even have tables and chairs to sit and create on. They need learning tools. Posters, books, perhaps some small TVs to play educational videos and nursery channels. They need to venture outside of the orphanage and experience life, which means more adult supervision is required. They need regular human interaction and affection. This is so important for a child to grow into a healthy, functional human being. They need sanitation and nutrient dense food (which Sudan grows in abundance) More work volunteers and carers are needed. Right now there is about 2 ladies to every 20 children. And these poor women are on unimaginably low wages which ultimately deprives the children of what they need. Thank you all so much."
