Story

With the memory of Madagascar fading into the far distant past and my belly growing by the day, I thought it was time to set myself another challenge. So here it is.... London to Paris by bike in 3 days! Easy!

Computer Aid are a charity who do amazing work recycling IT kit and deploying it to schools, universities and medical facilities in developing countries. The work they do helps empower people in these countries, enabling them to lift themselves out of poverty by giving them the skills they need to live in the modern world.

I've seen this work first hand on my trip to Madagascar with Computer Aid so I know what a real difference this can make. The money I raise will be enough to provide one fully equiped computer lab for a school.

Your support makes a difference to so many lives. Here are some of the projects Computer Aid have been involved in:
