Thanks for visiting my page!

After cycling 500 miles from Switzerland to UK last year my knees, backside and mind told me...never again!  After the pain subsided I then decided that support Vodafone Foundation's Big Bike Challenge to raise money for Lesotho HIV / AIDS victims - see what a difference we are hoping to make here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdjWJTuhMBc&feature=youtu.be

Anything you can give will help make those long rides just a little easier, and to make it easier you can also sponsor via JustGivingText at no extra cost,simply text FELL82 with the amount to 70070 (e.g. text "FELL82 £20" to 70070)

Cheers,

Andy

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.
