Story

Thank you for taking the interest in this cause and visiting my page.

Over the past 8 years I have carried out aid work in conflict and disaster affected areas. This work has seen me travel to very remote and poor areas of the world.

While carrying out this work, I always notice how children are greatly affected. The way they look at you as they find it very hard to understand the situation they in and that loss and vulnerability is visible on their faces and in their eyes. These images create a emptiness in my mind and always make me feel helpless for them.

But also the best time I spend out on the ground is when I play with the kids, as I try to make them feel normal. I always notice that this makes the children temporarily forget about the troubles they surrounded by, bringing a glowing joy to their faces as they play with a stranger.

Therefore orphan Children have always been close to my heart. I have taken on the biggest challenge yet, to cycle around the world, covering over 12,000 miles, crossing over 30 countries in approximately 10 months, living off a camp stove and sleeping in a tent!

My home for nearly a year will be bike, so the home of orphans can be better then the current rumble and mud they're in.

All the projects I've been part of, have only been possible due to your generosity.

Please kindly and generously sponsor me to help reach my target. I need all your encouragement not only to complete this challenge but to help complete both orphanages.

I look forward to receiving your donations and I thank you in advance for your generosity. Thank you.
