My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.  Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me.  The Outward Bound Trust gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

That's the cycling complete - over two years riding around the world on my trusty Somerset built two-wheeled steed - across Europe, Central Asia, China, Australia and North America. About 20,000 miles or sixteen million revolutions of the wheels. But still a long way to go raising funds for The Trust. So, please sponsor me now and help me achieve my target of at least a pound for every mile ridden - that's £20,000.

 

Donations of all sizes are hugely appreciated.  To find out more about the work of The Outward Bound Trust visit my website www.acrosscontinents.org.

Again, your donation is really appreciated, helping to prepare young people for the challenges that lie ahead.
