Story

A few months ago I set off with my bike and my tent, to try and cycle from Tangier in Morocco down the West coast of Africa and hopefully all the way to Cape Town. I knew this could be difficult with Covid, Visas and some political instability, but I made it through the Sahara, then into Senegal, Guinea, Cote D’Ivoire and onto Ghana. 

Unfortunately at Ghana I finally got stuck due to Visa issues, so I had to fly from Ghana to Rwanda, and I’m now continuing the trip through Tanzania, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia. I have around 5,000km left, having completed 9,000km to this point! So by the time I reach Cape Town I will have cycled 14,000km or around 9,000 miles.

If you’d like to support my challenge, it would be great if you could donate to Cure INAD UK, a charity set up by my friend Christine who’s beautiful daughter Zoe has been diagnosed with Infantile Neuro Axonal Dystrophy (INAD). All the money raised will be used to help fund research to find a cure for this rare genetic condition, where affected children have a life expectancy of 5-10 years.

Thank you for your support, if you’d like more information on the charity, please visit the website www.cureinaduk.org
