I have always loved cycling  and this is a great opportunity to rekindle my interest by  cycling the length of the  UK from Lands End to John O'Groats and raise money for a fantastic cause, Moyo Lesotho.   I have hung up the running shoes and taken to the bike! I'll update this page, Facebook,  Twitter & Strava on how the training is going and also when we do the ride 6th September - 15th September... Please help me reach my target .. any donation will be gratefully received :)  

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 beyond their fifth birthday 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 baby 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.

Funds will be used for

Transport: travel funds will be sent via mobile money M-Pesa, 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 technology will enable nurses to be connected, and more young people and mothers to be reached. 

Staff & Equipment: Medical equipment and Nurses to use it in mobile and fixed clinics.
