Story

This July I am cycling from London to Paris to raise money for the amazing Environmental Justice Foundation.


I'm going the distance for this small, but hugely effective charity because they do a great job working to get justice for people in many of the poorest countries whose lives and natural environments are threatened by corruption and greed.


From preventing chronic health impacts associated with pesticide poisoning by securing national and global bans on the most toxic pesticides, to protecting our oceans and the communities that most depend on them, from illegal pirate fishing - and a huge amount in the middle for climate refugees, shrimp and cotton production...they do a big job with little money and so they really need our support.


I'm hoping you'll help me, help them by sponsoring me on this 4-day, 300 mile journey.


In return I promise to keep you up to date (sans info on blisters and achy bums) on my challenge and how your donation has helped EJF's work protecting people and the planet.


Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to EJF and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now so EJF can give a voice and a future to those most affected by environmental injustice.

About the charity

EJF works in some of the world's most difficult and remote countries to protect vulnerable communities, wildlife and wild places. Our campaigns have led to action on forced labour and human trafficking, national and global bans on deadly pesticides and arrests of illegal 'pirate' fishing trawlers.
