Story

Hi Guys thanks for taking the time to visit my page!

In just over 2 months, I will be jumping on my bike with all the gear and no idea to join the Tour de Plan International team with my fellow DAZN and Perform cyclists to ride through the French Countryside, Pyrenees Mountains and long hot roads of Spain to complete the route of 900 miles from Paris to Madrid.

Ambitious? Maybe. Crazy? Definitely! There will be a lot of blood, sweat, tears and sore bum cheeks from 9 solid days in the saddle, but its all in the name of a fantastic cause, to support Plan International in their mission to bring gender equality to the girls of Teresina, Brazil and empower them through our sports projects.

The work Plan International does is fantastic, and being a core member of our Charity Champions team has really opened my eyes to realise how prevalent gender in-balance is across so many communities. Empowering women and girls and giving them access to education, responsibility, pride and all human rights is vital and through working with Plan International, my connection to this cause has really increased and it is something I am truly passionate about fighting for.

For those of you who know me, you may have noticed that cycling has now taken over my life! Starting very much from zero, I am hoping to pump my little legs to try and keep up with the team and cross the finish line in Madrid as a cycling hero. But, I still have a long training plan ahead. Your generous support will make the sore legs and flat tyres all the more worthwhile!

So, if you can spare anything to help get me (the cycling newbie and major underdog) up those mountains, your support will be hugely appreciated by me and the Plan International team.

Thank you and wish me luck, I'm going to need it!
