My story

 

In July, Simon and Lianna are aiming to cycle more than 900 miles across southern England.

What's more, we will be the first to do this journey in a cycle rickshaw!

Our rickshaw odyssey begins at Lands End, Britain's most westerly point, and zig-zags all the way to Lowestoft, Britain's most easterly point.

All monies raised through our pedalling will go to fund grassroots microcredit projects in the northern Indian states of Bihar and Jharkand, providing the poorest with training and loans through self-help groups. And if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation!

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. If you'd like to help tackle extreme poverty in rural India, please sponsor Simon and Lianna's west to east cycle now.

 

27th July, update:

We've now completed our epic journey across England, and succeeded in covering over 932.6 miles, which should qualify us for a Guinness record!
