My story

 
The Better Life Cycle is a one man unsupported bike ride from London to Cape Town, delivering £100,000 of sponsorship directly to orphanages en route.

All the costs of the ride and charity are covered, so 100% of the sponsorship - every penny - will have a real impact on the lives of some of the world's most under-privileged kids.

During the ride each orphanage will receive an 'Educaid Box' of practical educational materials. A lasting relationship will also be founded, to provide funding and support for longer-term projects.

1. Please sponsor the ride

2. Forward the message on

Thank you for your interest and sponsorship. Don't stop there. Please forward the message on to your friends and colleagues - it's just as important as the sponsorship itself.

There's lots more details, photos and a blog of the ride at www.BetterLifeCycle.com
