Charity ride in India

Nowicka Stern director Oded Stern-Meiraz will undertake a gruelling 1500km motorcycle ride over South India’s craggier terrain later this month, to raise funds for a new cancer unit in Kerala. Riding a 1950s-style Royal Enfield motorcycle, he will travel with approximately 100 fellow charitables, rumoured to include It-Girl Tamara Beckwith. They will set off on 23 January and hope to raise 250 000. Donations, of course, would be much appreciated. Stern-Meiraz can be contacted at 0171-404 8471.
