Welcome friends, family and supporters! It is official, I am of to Paris on my push bike. This is not a desperate bid to get to the fashion capital on a budget, I have discovered there is so much more to life than Chanel and Louis Vuitton.
On 1 September 2010 I am cycling London to Paris to raise vital funds and awareness for WaterAid.
1 in 8 of the world’s population do not have access to safe water and 2.6 billion (not a typo, that is with a b) do not have access to adequate sanitation. One child every 20 seconds dies due to diarrhoea caused by unclean and poor sanitation. I hope you are shocked at these appalling statistics and dig deep to support me on my cycle to Paris for a great charity that really does make a difference.
Hello! So I have been locked in my room studying and sitting exams this last few weeks so haven’t spent much time on fundraising or training. Now it is all over I am looking forward to getting back on the bike and tonight I’m off to a spinning class.
There are only 10 weeks left until I’ll be off to London to start my 300mile cycle trip to Paris. Yikes!! I do wonder where time has gone but I’m fully confident about the challenge and very much looking forward to it.
I am only getting on the bike and peddling my little legs for four days solid for one reason only, to raise money and awareness for WaterAid. One child dies every 20 seconds from diarrhoea caused by unclean water and poor sanitation. This is totally preventable and you can help by donating now.
- £1 could pay for a hygiene promotion manual in Bangladesh
- £3.50 could pay for a tap in Nigeria
- £6 could pay for a bag of cement in Nepal
- £10 could pay for a tool and spares kit for a handpump in Mozambique
- £15 can enable one person to access safe, clean water, improved hygiene and sanitation.
Thanks again for your continuous support x
