Professors on your bike!

Twenty three of the University's finest have been on their bikes raising funds for a children's clinic in Kenya, writes Alexandra Mackay, Administrator, Wellcome Trust Centre For Molecular Parasitology.
On 9 December, twenty three of our finest university scientists got on their bikes to raise some much needed funds to provide a community health worker and to paint the walls of the Baraka Children’s Clinic in the Mathare slum in Nairobi, Kenya. As an added attraction there was a two hour ‘soakathon’ where selected Professors were on bikes outside and for a small donation people could soak them with sponges or a Super Soaker. This charity event raised a wonderful £1,080. Many congratulations to the cyclists and the organising team. 
The intrepid cyclists included: Rob Aitken, Jeremy Bagg, Andy Baker, Tom Barr, Mike Barrett, Bob Benson, Jim Brewer, John Briggs, Richard Cogdell, Nick Dickens, Tom Evans, Paul Garside, John Gibson, Carl Goodyear, Richard McCulloch, Iain McInnes, Simon Milling, Jeremy Mottram, Naveed Sattar, Andrew Smith, Andy Tomlins, Andy Waters, Richard Wellbury.
