London to paris in 24hrs · 15 May 2012

Action Against Hunger is a global humanitarian organisation that takes decisive action against the causes and effects of hunger. We save the lives of malnourished children. We ensure everyone can access clean water, food, training and healthcare. We enable entire communities to be free from hunger.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am cycling from London to Paris on the 14th of June in a small group of 20 cyclists. The route is is over 185 miles which we are going to compete in less than 24hrs, most people take 3 days as a minimum. This is a massive undertaking as until 2 months ago I had never cycled more than 50miles in one day (and that was nearly 10 years ago)

I am raising money for action against hunger. I was lucky enough to meet a number of their overseas team at a recent event and this motivated me to do more for them. Their work has a massive impact on reducing child hunger around the world. Just a little money can have a huge impact. For example:-

£10 - One week's supply of therapeutic milk, nutritional products, vitamins and medicine for a child*

£27 - 1 complete survival kit, necessary to save the life of a severely malnourished child in less than 4 weeks*

£36 - 1 mechanical surface pump (less than 7 meters)*

From £350 to £2,140 - 1 hand pump (20 to 70 meters) providing permanent and lasting access to safe drinking water for around 500 people
