How can you help?

You can support Villa Pardoes, and you don't have to bike the sea yourself ;) Support by the cyclists by donating 'cycled' miles, then they also have a reason to keep on going on the water! For instance:

€0,001 per km X 4500= € 4,50
€0,002 per km X 4500= € 9,-
€1 per km X 4500 = € 4500,- :-)

Donate the amount that you wish to contribute on acountnumber 51.01.82.453
