Story

<p>My employer Vodafone has launched the Moyo Challenge which aims to eliminate obstetric fistula in Tanzania.&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;For every &pound;1 donated, Vodafone will donate &pound;2.&nbsp;</strong>You can read more about this very worthy cause here:<a title="http://www.vodafone.com/content/index/about/foundation/mobiles_for_good/ccbrt.html" href="http://www.vodafone.com/content/index/about/foundation/mobiles_for_good/ccbrt.html">&nbsp;#mce_temp_url#</a></p> <p><a title="http://www.vodafone.com/content/index/about/foundation/mobiles_for_good/ccbrt.html" href="http://www.vodafone.com/content/index/about/foundation/mobiles_for_good/ccbrt.html"></a>I've set myself the challenge to see how long I can go <strong>not spending a single penny getting to, from, or at work</strong>.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've been going since 30th August: at&nbsp;the end of November I've cycled over 800 km, saved nearly &pound;800, and lost about 8kg in weight (just goes to show how much fat there is in a Pret choccie bar eh).</p> <p>I'm aiming to raise as much as possible by December 15th (which is our fundraising deadline). &nbsp;Please donate to support me - I'm going to donate 10% of what I save myself.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for donating!</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>David</p> <p>PS here are the rules:</p> <p>- no public or motorized transport to or from work</p> <p>- no expenditure on food or drink at work: packed lunch and free coffee are permitted. Though obviously if someone desparately wants to buy me coffee or lunch, I'm not going to say no, am I? ;-)</p> <p>- work from home, taking leave, any sick days, are all excluded (though I will still try to do a 10 mile ride and eat a home-made lunch)</p>
