On Friday 6th July, I'll be setting off with a MapAction team for the second MapAction cycle ride. Last year we cycled between the Paris and London meridians and this year, for MapAction's 10th anniversary, we will be cycling a 170 mile route through the Chilterns over 3 days.

If you can spare a few pennies this would be greatly appreciated. MapAction works in disaster zones all over the world. In 2012 deployments have included Paraguay, Madagascar, Brazzaville, Senegal and the Philippines. Donations enable the charity to keep up the great work they do.
