I feel extremely fortunate to live in an environment whereby medical treatment is always available to my family and I, should we need it. These young children are not so fortunate and may not make even make it to their fifth birthday owing to HIV. The amount they need to access treatment and speed up diagnosis is miniscule  to most of us. So this is a huge challenge for me and waaayyyy out of my comfort zone, the training is already testing me :-). Nevertheless I am determined to make myself totally uncomfortable to help families in Lesotho and I am deeply grateful to you if you could help me to do this.

Moyo Lesotho is about using mobile technology to change lives, by getting a generation of young people living with HIV onto treatment. By using mobile technology, more children will receive life-saving treatment far faster. There are 41,000 HIV positive children in Lesotho but only 5,000 of them currently receive treatment. I am  cycling the length of Britain to get all 36,000 children the life-saving treatment they need. Very few children will survive if they do not receive this treatment and many of these children live in rural areas. 

The funds I raise will also be used to provide safe deliveries for mothers, preventing maternal death and the transmission of HIV from mothers to babies. Every pound I raise will be put to work, changing lives and it will reach more people far faster because of mobile technology. Transport: travel funds will be sent via mobile money, so children and expectant mothers can travel to treatment - this costs just £20. Testing: results will be sent via mobile speeding up both diagnosis and treatment -just £50 will pay for a mobile enabled paediatric HIV test including the transport of the blood sample. Treatment: mobile clinics via mobile will enable nurses to be connected, and more young people and mothers to be reached.
