Between 6 -14 September 2014 I will be cycling 1,000 miles across the UK from Land's End to John O'Groats to raise money for children living with HIV/AIDS in Lesotho.

You can donate online or via SMS by texting VBBR99 £5 (or £10) to70070.

If you want a bit more information about how your money will be spent, see below or watch the video in the images section of my page. Thank you:

Lesotho is a country facing an HIV / AIDS challenge and where there are currently 80,000 adults receiving antiretroviral drugs but only 4,000 children, despite ARVs being available through globally funded programmes.  We want all 41,000 children living with HIV to have access to treatment by 2017. 

The Vodafone Foundation is working with in-country partners to increase the number of children accessing treatment and the first step is to get the children to clinics. Via M-Pesa, sending money via the network has become a reality. 

Our technology will enable children to receive their bus fare to ensure they can attend treatment. It will cost the equivalent of just $65 per child to access treatment over the 3 years of the programme.  We need to raise $8 million to reach our 2017 target and the challenge for Vodafone employees is to raise $1 million of that.
