Story
Every day, 19 people across the world are injured or killed by a landmine or unexploded bomb. Almost half of these casualties are children.
MAG (Mines Advisory Group) aims to save lives and rebuild futures by removing and destroying landmines and unexploded bombs from communities affected by war and violence around the world. Because of their work, people can not only live safely, they can farm safe land, build new houses and schools and children can walk without fear
MAG is an important charity for PayZone's Managing Director, Andy Goddard and Commercial Director, Simon Lambert. So far, Andy has completed four rides for MAG across Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Sri Lanka and Simon joined last year in Vietnam. Unfortunately due to business commitments, they were unable to join the MAG Cycle Cambodia Challenge in February this year - but refused to be stopped! They decided to set themselves a cycling challenge - covering the same 500km distance - to raise money for the cause, right here in the UK, and that is where #Cycle4Change was born!
Across six separate 50km UK bike rides including Manchester, Birmingham, Scotland, the North East, London and Hampshire Andy and Simon are raising funds for MAG and food donations for the Trussell Trust. They will be joined on the route by their fellow MAG Cycle Challenge participants, by PayZone and Post Office colleagues and by other key supporters and sponsors.
