In June 2012, just after my 40th birthday, I'm going to cycle 500km through the breathtaking scenery of Madagascar, to raise money for the inspirational transport charity Transaid. This is a real personal challenge (when I signed up, I didn't even own a bike!).

I've previously visited Zambia and Ethiopia with Transaid and seen their work at first hand, making transport safer and more efficient so people get access to healthcare and economic opportunities.

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.
