The Vodafone Big Bike Challenge – LEJOG · 9 September 2014 to 14 September 2014 ·

We are raising funds for Instant Network Emergency Response (INER). When disaster strikes, Vodafone Foundation volunteers deploy to restore free vital connectivity for families, responders and communities. INER also builds resilience through local hubs to reach more people quickly and effectively.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Between 6 -14 September 2014 I will be cycling 1,000 miles across the UK from Land's End to John O'Groats to raise money for children living with HIV/AIDS in Lesotho.

Lesotho is a country facing an HIV / AIDS challenge and where there are currently 80,000 adults receiving antiretroviral drugs but only 4,000 children, despite ARVs being available through globally funded programmes.  We want all 41,000 children living with HIV to have access to treatment by 2017.

The Vodafone Foundation is working with in-country partners to increase the number of children accessing treatment and the first step is to get the children to clinics. Via M-Pesa, sending money via the network has become a reality. 

Our technology will enable children to receive their bus fare to ensure they can attend treatment. It will cost the equivalent of just $65 per child to access treatment over the 3 years of the programme.  We need to raise $8 million to reach our 2017 target and the challenge for Vodafone employees is to raise $1 million of that

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.  Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.  Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the Vodafone Foundation.  Do it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for charities.
