Story

Hi, we're Hitesh and Vivek. Two cousins, two (reasonably) normal guys. Some time back, we received the news that Hitesh's sister had been diagnosed with cancer. That, and our desire to do something different with our lives, led us to this most ridiculous of challenges - to spend 12 months cycling to the other side of the planet.

What are we doing?

This September, we will leave our comfortable lives in London to cycle around the world. We'll be on the road for a year, cycling for around 6 hours a day to reach our goal. We'll leave all of our luxuries behind, taking only cycling gear, clothes and camping equipment. As part of our journey, we'll be sleeping in a tent most days and cooking for ourselves and hopefully fit in some time to take a few pictures for you guys!

Why are we raising money for CLIC Sargent?

Four years ago, we received the painful news that Seema (Hitesh’s younger sister) had been diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. We experienced first-hand the fantastic work that CLIC Sargent do; offering much needed support. No child should ever have to hear the news that they have been diagnosed with cancer; but ten children today will hear the shocking news that they have cancer. Luckily, there are charities like CLIC Sargent to help children and their family cope.
