Story

As many people know I am currently working in Guatemala with the company GVI, which in Guatemala works with the local indigenous Mayan population aiming to provide a basic education for these underprivileged children. I have been in working in Guatemala now for 4 weeks and am really enjoying my time here. I can really see while working here how much these children need the money, this project is wonderful and the children even more so. Working with the children is one of the most incredible things I have done, they really don’t have many opportunities and even the smallest amount of money would make a huge difference here. It would be really amazing if you guys at home could support these children.

So, in order to help these kids I am going to cycle 205 kilometres from Antigua Guatemala to Copan Honduras on a 5 day bike challenge. If anyone has ever seen me on a bike then they will know that this is going to be a really huge challenge for me, so please help me. I will injure myself somehow on this so only your money could make this worth it! As well as the pure comedy I will create,  I really hope that you guys manage to help these kids through any amount of money. Any amount of money and these kids (and me) will be eternally grateful.

Thank you.
