Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This summer I, along with 13 other Exeter Students and 2 support drivers are cycling from Westminster to Istanbul. This will see us covering 4,500km in the height of summer and cycling around £200 for every pound you donate. On this mamoth 45 day expidition we will be cycling roughly 120km a day across the entire continent of Europe and into Asia. As you can imagine, sore bums and tired legs will be daily battle.

Depsite this being an already worthy cause, it is particularly important for Exeter students as we recently lost an Exeter University Boat Club Alumni Lt David Boyce serving his country in Afghanistan.

Please give whatever you can to support such an epic trip and worthy cause. Thank you.
