Cycling Across Europe for a Good Cause: 3K on the Line!
European Cyclist Michael Sommerstange Journeys for Charity Across Continent
Alright mate, let's dive into a heartwarming yarn about a bloke name Michael Sommerstange from Dortmund. This bloke's bike tour across ten weeks and seven countries has been nothing short of a charity marathon! He's been fundraising for the Action Light Moments, an organization supporting NRW's kiddos and fams in need. Last weekend, he rolled back home with a whopping donation total of over 3,000 Euros in his pocket!
Giving it a Bash: First Time Organizing a Fundraising Extravaganza
"This was me first time organizing a fundraiser," Sommerstange reminisces, "Initially, I thought I'd snag a few hundred quid, then I aimed for a grand. But lemme tell ya, I never dreamed it'd reach over 3K!" Grumbling modestly, he gives the props to the donors: "I just rode me bike and did my thing. Credit where it's due, it's the supporters I owe a debt of gratitude to!"
Welcome Back Party in Dortmund
Upon his return home, old mate Sommerstange was greeted at a pizzeria by mates, relatives, and donors. The lot were keen to lend a hand in his cause. "It's bloody impressive that some bloke of his age can embark on such a tour - all for the kiddos too," said one mate. Some enthusiastic supporters even chipped in some extra coin to bump the donation total over the 3K mark.
The Next Challenge Awaits
After the grueling tour, Sommerstange's night's sleep in his own bed can't come soon enough. But he's already itching for the next challenge: "I'm hooked on these tours, mate. The next one's on the horizon - possibly even this year." With the impressive total of over 3K now in the hands of the Action Light Moments, they'll be spreading that love to the children and families in need right here in NRW. Cheers to Michael Sommerstange for his unwavering dedication and inspirational work!
