Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Please visit www.fatkidonabike.com for the full story!

After making the decision to follow a life long dream of undertaking a huge adventure, I left Cape Town on the 30th June 2013 to begin a 27 month bicycle expedition through every country in Africa, and through Europe, to reach the UK in time to watch the Rugby World Cup. 

Some 26,000 miles and 75 countries later, I crossed the channel into Newhaven on the 18th September with 55 wonderful friends who joined me for the last 200km from Paris, before we cycled the last few miles into Brighton to watch the now very historic South Africa vs Japan opening Rugby World Cup match.

We used the ride from Paris to officially launch the fundraising efforts for the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, and via this UK platform are hoping to raise £5,000 to put towards their incredible and inspiring projects.
