On the 15th of July 2021 (my birthday week) I will be struggling to “virtually” ascend 10,000 metres (Everest is 8,849 metres) on my bicycle! 

I will be attempting this on Zwift and to complete this challenge, I will climb Alpe Du Zwift (8.5% avg. gradient) ten times which will be a total of 10,360 m elevation and 240 km distance (120 km ascending, 120 km descending) and it should take between 15 and 20 hours burning around 9,000 calories!!

Why? Simply, to raise money and awareness for an organisation called Hope for Justice who exist to bring an end to modern slavery by preventing exploitation, rescuing victims, restoring lives and reforming society.

It is estimated that there are 40.3 million in forced labour, sexual exploitation, domestic servitude and forced marriage worldwide (not only in other countries but the UK too).

I fear attempting this climb but that is nothing compared to the terror experienced every day by people kept in slavery. My cycle will be painful, exhausting, and lonely but it will only be one day and nothing compared to the day-after-day-after-day life of men, women, and children kept in slavery.

Please consider donating generously. 
I don't want birthday presents, I want to live in a world free from slavery.
