I’m Louise, the 33 year old mother of Tigerlily, and am returning to my daughter’s birthplace in Mexico, to continue a cycle trip begun during pregnancy. When 5 five months pregnant I set out from San Felipe, a small town in Baja California, Northern Mexico, and cycled some 2000 miles south until reaching Oaxaca two and a half months later. There Tigerlily was born in January 2005.

Now Tigerlily is a year old we are set to cycle another 2000 + miles from Southern Mexico to Panama, this time raising money  for our chosen charity  Plan UK, an international humanitarian organisation working with children and their communities. Donations will go directly to rural projects in  El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, which we will be visiting along the journey.

We leave on 23 January 2006 and plan to start our trip on 1^st February.  You can follow our progress by logging on to www.burley.com  where I'll be writing about the trip and adding photos.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Plan UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. Do look at their website: www.plan-uk.org  and give as much as you can.

We welcome any donation however great or small.

Many thanks for your support.
