Apparently if every child received an education, 170 million people would be lifted out of poverty. Crazy, but exciting.

In order to help raise awareness to these issues, this June, I will be on a bike, cycling over 200 miles from Paris to London with a group called 'TechBikers' to raise money for Room to Read, a charity that focused on these exact issues.

£50k is our goal, and I am committed to contributing at least £500 - but that sounds like a very small contribution so I am hoping you can help me smash that. All money goes direct to Room to Read as the trip is paid for by participants and sponsors. 

I know I know, it's so cliche to be doing something fun with a group of cool people raise money, and while 200miles seems like a very (very) long way to me, I know some of you (like Dave from https://www.justgiving.com/walkinsolidarity/) will be like "meh, 300km on a bike... try 4350km on your frickin feet”…. But the moral of the story here is you should donate to both causes. 

So, please support me with however much you can give, in order to raise for Room to Read. You know, means-tested donation. Like, if you are a billionaire I am expecting at least $3k; or if you work at Zenga, then I'm sorry, probably best to keep as much of your money as possible just in case - maybe just give donate a few $.
