Europe's longest charity bike ride: 5,400km from Glasgow to Athens and raising money for grassroots projects with dignified and sustainable initiatives for migrants and asylum seekers

Story

Dear friends,

This summer I'm riding with Thighs of Steel in solidarity with refugees and displaced people.

"The lines on a map shouldn't decide our the fate of our lives"

"People wouldn't put their children in boats if the land was safer than the water"

"You see security isn't just about being safe from imminent death. It's also about having a future, options, the autonomy to build a life of your choosing" Hassan Akhad, author of Hope not fear

I will be cycling from Geneva to Milan on one of the 8 legs of a sponsored 5000km+ cycle ride that started in Glasgow and ends in Athens. All the money raised goes directly to MASS Action, who distribute money to grassroots projects, that support refugees in sustainable initiatives in the UK, Greece and beyond.

The week will be a daily distance of 100km with a pretty hefty incline 2000m every day, which is making me feel more and more petrified the closer we get.

It's always hard asking for money but times are tougher than ever for some people, and any support is greatly appreciated.

This means every penny counts so don't forget to add Gift Aid if you're eligible.

Love Lily xxx
