Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I get new chapters starting in my life everytime I receive great news for something I have been longing for, or when an abnormal incident kicks in my "any usual man's" life. On the 9th of September I have a new chapter starting with the title "Craziness has no limits, neither helping one another has!", the lines of this chapter will start at Land's End and reach the final full stop at John O'Groats, written by my two wheels and signed with my pedals, yes, I am cycling England end to end! Almost a 1000 miles in just 9 days!

I am not doing that just because I am crazy, but mainly because of the great cause behind it, helping treatment reach as many children with HIV in Lesotho, a cause by Vodafone Foundation under the name "Moyo Lesotho Challenge". Along with the Vodafone Team, we are looking to raise funds through everyones contribution, to put a smile of hope on the faces of children suffering HIV, please don't miss out on this chance and donate as much as you can.

Lesotho is a country facing an HIV / AIDS challenge and where there are currently 80,000 adults receiving antiretroviral drugs but only 4,000 children, despite ARVs being available through globally funded programmes.  We want all 41,000 children living with HIV to have access to treatment by 2017.  The Vodafone Foundation is working with in-country partners to increase the number of children accessing treatment and the first step is to get the children to clinics. Via M-pesa, sending money via the network has become a reality. Our technology will enable children to receive their bus fare to ensure they can attend treatment. It will cost the equivalent of just $65 per child to access treatment over the 3 years of the programme.  We need to raise $8 million to reach our 2017 target and the challenge for Vodafone employees is to raise $1 million of that.
