MapAction Chiltern Challenge · 6 July 2012 to 8 July 2012 ·

MapAction believes that applying geospatial expertise to humanitarian situations can greatly improve outcomes for the people affected. Global humanitarian needs outstrip resources. Expert geospatial and data analysis can help stretch those resources for maximum impact. Many professionals want to donate their energy and skills to help. MapAction is the bridge which enables them to do so effectively. We are a non-profit organisation that collaborates with partners around the world to help anticipate, prepare for and respond to humanitarian emergencies. We strive to ensure governments, regional and local disaster management agencies and humanitarian responders have access to the information and analysis that they need to make key decisions, at the right times, to save lives and alleviate suffering. We are a team of around 100 people, 75% of them expert volunteers, plus a small roster of standby consultants. Combining the passion of volunteerism with the rigour and reliability of professional standards, the ‘MapAction spirit’ is something we work hard to maintain and the willingness of our team to go the extra mile is often fed back to us.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The guy in this picture is a cray fisherman fixing a double pinch puncture about an hour in to the last cycle ride I attempted. This incident was sandwiched between falling off my bike on the canal path and being chased by a dog. So, I'm not expecting it to be easy, but in a few days I'm getting back on my bike; this time it's to raise money for a very worthwhile cause. 
 

As some of you know, I've been volunteering for a charity called Map Action for almost a year. 2012 is Map Action's 10 year anniversary and from 6-8 July a number of us will be cycling 170 miles through the Chiltern hills (hills!) to raise awareness and money for the work Map Action do. All support will be hugely appreciated!
