My story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I'm Joining a group of 10 riders + support crew to reach the Chernobyl reactor and back in 16 days. 3,900 miles through 10 countries, we will take in the Stelvio Pass and the Transfagarasan Highway in Romania and dodging potholes on the way, averaging around 250 mls per day.
Why? I hear you ask.
25 years ago this April, radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl nuclear accident was blown north into Belarus, affecting the long term health, environment and food chain of millions. It is the children there who are most vulnerable to the ongoing exposure. Incidences of thyroid cancer in children there have increased 3,000% since the disaster.
Sponsorship for this Challenge is set at a minimum of £1,000 per rider.I will cover all my own food, accomodation and petrol costs, this allows ALL donation fundraising to go direct to the children's charity.
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 charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now. Many thanks for your support to the charity.

A little more detail to help understand why it affects us all.
The Chernobyl disaster is the world’s worst environmental disaster. It has started an endless chain reaction which has affected millions of people. The number affected may never be known and the number of people who have died or who could eventually die is highly controversial. The Chernobyl disaster has certainly had the effect of multiplying any previous problems that existed in society by many times and as usual it is the weakest in such societies that suffer the most. While the experts argue the statistics, the fact remains that thousands of children continue to suffer. They don’t have the luxury of arguing about the figures or about what should be done. Efforts to support practical projects on the ground are the first step in helping those who need it most.
