Story

Paul, Rich & Two Petes 7,855 miles to ride

In 2014 a team based mainly on the Isle of Coll in the Hebrides cycled round the Highland coast to raise money for Mary's Meals. This produced two main effects. Firstly we raised a shed load of money and set up a Mary's Meals kitchen in a school in northern Malawi. Secondly we decided we really rather enjoyed cycling.

30 months later and we need to fundraise again, not least because there is a Food Crisis in Malawi and millions are short of food. Since we now like cycling, we thought we should cycle from Coll to Karonga. So C2K was born. Just 7,855 mils to cycle!

Unfortunately the need to be at home and do some work, coupled with political instability in key areas of north African, have made cycling from Scotland to Malawi a bit of a non starter. But those clever folk who run the internet have come up with a solution. We can virtually ride from Coll to Karonga. 

To look at our progress, and that of the 300 or so folk who are running, rowing, swimming and cycling to Malawi with us, go to:

And you could really make our day by donating some money to Mary's Meals while you are here on Justgiving.

Thanks, Paul, Rich & Two Petes
