Sorry, I haven't said anywhere that I don't think that the Japanese aren't doing enough. This is just a group of British expats trying to help people in need.

For anyone interested in donating to a cause that gives direct aid to people still struggling to get their lives back to normal, in April a group of 10 (unfit!) Brits are cycling 330km from Tokyo to Minamisoma over 3 days to raise funds for the Save Minamisoma Project, which distributes food and water to residents every fortnight.

All donations received are used to buy supplies, nothing is lost through 'admin charges'.

Our donation page is here - http://www.donationto.com/TokyoBrits-Save-Minamisoma-Project - while you can find out about the Save Minamisoma Project here - www.saveminamisoma.org.

I'm one of the riders taking part in this charity ride and would like to thank everybody in advance for their support. Any donation, no matter how big or small, is greatly appreciated.
