Story

Hi Friends!

On the 17th September I am going to try and cycle out of London, heading North. I will cycle until the 24 hours is up, or until my legs give up! 

On Friday evening, after work, I will have my dinner and get the bike ready! I will set off at 7pm and head north-west out of London. Through the night I will continue heading north towards Nottingham and Leicester. I will see how far I can make it through the night, and then continue until 7pm the next day.

The most I have ever cycled at one time is 100km, so this will be far above anything I have done before. If you feel like donating anything at all, that would be amazing!!!

UK for UNHCR

The people of Afghanistan have lived with conflict for more than four decades. Entire generations have never known peace and millions remain displaced.Renewed violence and instability have created an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. Hundreds of thousands of people have been newly displaced across the country since the start of this year alone. Many had to flee with only the clothes on their back and are struggling to survive in appalling conditions, sheltering in tents made only of cloth. UNHCR is on the ground and doing everything possible to protect civilians, but urgently needs public support to help it reach families in desperate need. Please help us to protect people forced to flee. £35 will provide five sanitary kits including laundry soap, toilet soap and sanitary napkins. £52 can buy a core relief kit, providing a family with blankets, sleeping mats, mosquito nets and a kitchen set. £310 can provide an emergency shelter kit, inc. a family tent and plastic tarpaulins.
