<p>Yumi and Thomas have decided to go for a 4,000km (that's about 2,500 miles) bicycle journey from Cape Soya, the Northern most tip of Japan to Cape Sata, the Southern most tip of Japan!</p> <p>This trip will be a "quest wrapped in an adventure inside a challenge" as neither of us have cycled that much before. We'll start in the remote north part of the Hokkaido prefecture, cross Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu islands to finally reach Cape Sata.<br /><br />We are raising funds for Advance Advocacy Project, a charity&nbsp;that supports&nbsp;women&nbsp;experiencing domestic violence. In the UK, 45% of women have experienced some form of domestic violence in their life.</p> <p>Advance offers crisis intervention and ongoing support as well as advice to women and their children who are marginalised or disadvantaged as a result of domestic abuse and/or other social exclusion factors. Advance's aim is to keep women and their children safe.<br /><br />Please give to help Advance to help women. Each &pound; will motivate us to pedal faster and further across Japan!<br /><br />We'll keep you updated on how stiff are legs are&nbsp;and about all the beautiful things we encounter on the way! :)<br /><br />THANK YOU<br />MERCI<br />GRACIAS!<br />ARIGATO!&nbsp; <br /><br /><br />Thomas and Yumi</p> <p>PS: we are also looking for sponsors which could help us with equipment: http://yumiandthomas.blogspot.com/p/sponsors.html</p>
