18,000 miles. 2 wheels. 150 days
I'll be cycling 15 hours a day through every continent, solo and unsupported with nothing but my bike, a tent and tons of maps
Smoke inhalation from flame based light sources, such as kerosene lamps, kills more people than Malaria
So my aim is to banish these kerosene lamps by the end of the decade.
I will be doing this with the help of Solar Aid
I'm really greatful for your donation and here are some examples of where your money actually goes.
£10 will buy two student lamps
£100 will provide two larger household systems
£1000 will power a school
Did you know????
98% of rural Africa has no electricity
600m Africans have no access to electricity
1.6m worldwide die from indoor air pollution caused by flame based lighting (kerosene lamps and fires)
In Tanzania, the poor have to spend 20% of their salary on kerosene
I am Sean and my little legs are going to be making 7 Million rotations each while I try and break to world record for cycling around the Earth. This crazy idea of mine brings along with it some of the harshest climates and terrains the world can throw at me and I will be eating and drinking my entire body weight in food and water every 2 weeks.
My motivation for completing and becoming a World Record Holder is fuelled by being able to help people less fortunate than myself. Providing African Schools with Solar Energy not only the obvious environmental benefits, but has also proven to increase education levels in students which as we all know is the key to success.
SolarAid really does make a positive contribution to helping people and the environment.
