In September 2014 I take part to the Big Bike Ride Across Britain from Land's End (far west Cornwall) to John O'Groats (far north Scotland), around 1000 miles (1600 km) in 9 days.

Even if a bit worried, I'm very excited to face this challenge, as this is a great opportunity to support a good cause: with your help and thanks to JustGiving and Vodafone Foundation, we can help 40,000 children in Lesotho fighting AIDS.

Lesotho has one of the world's highest rates of HIV/AIDS and 90% of HIV+ children die before their fifth birthday and a third will not see their first. The funds raised will be used to get the children to the hospital for the antiretroviral treatment (ARVs). It seems unbelievable in 2014 but one of the major problems for these people is to afford the transport costs to go to the hospital. The transport tickets will be paid via mPesa service provided by Vodafone.

Please note that donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving, as they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate, saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I hope you will join me in supporting this great cause and thanks in advance for your help.
