    Does it say anywhere on pedal2Poland.com that they're paying for all their expenses?
    Is part of the sponsorship money raised not goin on this

    Regardless, your assertions are unfair given two of the members have conditions they're raising money for (arthritis and depression) and one states
    I have been volunteering with various charities all of my life and I would have no hesitation in offering a long list of deserving causes

    Pedal2Poland - The Charities

    So I think it's fair to assume they have genuine interest in raising money for their selected charities and that this isn't a scam.

    This kind of racket has been going on for years, a fella in a pub once asked us to sponser him on a charity harley davidson ride of route 66.

    I know a lot of people who have done cycles across the states for charity, and flown to Zambia after raising money to build orphanages.

    A lot of the time, they pretty much pay for their travel etc themselves, and don't take the money directly from the donations. Often a business will give them a donation or whatever for their travel as opposed to thinking they're giving it straight to charity.

    If you don't agree with it, then don't give them the money, and just donate to the charity directly.

    After witnessing the OP's pathetic attempt to slander these lads for doing some good I have decided that I am going to donate 100euros to the charity.

    Fair play to em I say. They're not actually "going to EURO's" though, in the sense of a couple of weeks holiday on the piss. They're going to be cycling for two weeks straight, covering 1500km in the process. They arrive in Gdansk for the Spain game and I think if they go to see the game they bloody deserve it after all that.

    They'll be cycling while the tournament is on and be nowhere near where the matches are on.


    Let's hope Ireland are still in the Euro's by the time they get there :)

    Good luck to them.
