Story

Hello!

URGENT UPDATE! Every donation received until the end of August will be DOUBLED by the UK government through UK Aid Match - if there isn't any better reason to donate I don't know what is!

After mine and my cousin, Pippa's  successful climb of Kilimanjaro this year we've decided to take on another challenge (are we mad?) and cycle the grueling distance of London to Paris in September covering more than 500km in 4 days! In doing so, we've chosen charities that we'd like to support and raise as much money for in the process.

I've chosen to support Y Care International - who many of you know I started working for a couple of months ago. Y Care International work with young people across the world in some of the poorest countries and regions and help them in holistic ways- from helping young people recover from the Ebola catastrophe as well as helping rebuild communities after the recent Nepal earthquake. You can find out more about this fantastic organisation here: http://www.ycareinternational.org/

Please can you dig a little into your pockets to support the work of Y Care International. I shall be keeping you updated on my progress and will be facebooking/ tweeting updates on the actual ride so those that are interested can follow our progress.

Thank you once again and any donation little or great is very much appreciated.
