This July I am taking to the saddle and cycling from London to Paris to raise money for the amazing Environmental Justice Foundation.

Before this challenge became more than a twinkle in my eye I had not been on a bike for about 15 years when laps of the campsite in France were enough to finish me off.

I'm going the distance for this small, but hugely effective charity because they do a great job working to get justice for people in many of the poorest countries whose lives and natural environments are threatened by corruption and greed.

From preventing chronic health impacts associated with pesticide poisoning by securing national and global bans on the most toxic pesticides, to protecting our oceans and the communities that most depend on them, from illegal pirate fishing - and a huge amount in the middle for climate refugees, shrimp and cotton production...they do a big job with little money and so they really need our support.

I'm hoping you'll help me, help them by sponsoring me on this 4-day, 300 mile journey.

In return I promise to keep you up to date (sans info on blisters and achy bums) on my challenge and how your donation has helped EJF's work protecting people and the planet.

So please dig deep and donate now so EJF can give a voice and a future to those most affected by environmental injustice.
