Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. At the start of September, I will be embarking on a completely SOLO cycle from Paris to Milan. All I will have is my bike and a small bag on the back. This cycle will be just short of 1,000km and I will endure c13,000m of climbing. I will be riding through Chamonix and passing the infamous Mont Blanc. I have decided to ride this route in aid of the fantastic charity, Mary's meals. 

Mary's Meals vision is that every child receives a minimum of one healthy meal every day and all they ask of us is to think of those who lack even the most basic things such as a daily meal and clean water. 

18,000 children die every day from hunger related diseases. This is approximately 1 child a minute. (6.57 million a year)

All it costs is the small sum of £13.90 to feed a child for a whole school year. With this in mind this is less than your Sky subscription for a month, a night out, a haircut and less than your mobile phone bill. These are things we take for granted and all these children need is £13.90 to feed them for a whole year.

I have set a target of £2,000 for this challenge as this will allow 143 children to be fed for a school year. So far, Mary's Meals have helped in excess of 1.5 million children and they work across numerous countries such as  Ecuador, Hati, Kenya and Malawi.
