Here I am on the bike attempting my first 100miler through hills and castles in Kent. I started cycling 10 months ago and am unsure if I can even sit in the saddle for this long. I am aiming to finish in 6.5hrs - wishful thinking!

Covid in India has taken a  really barbaric turn. Not only is it spreading like wild fire but also the severity is much more intense this time around. Many of my close relatives and friends have been severely impacted in the last few months and many lives have been lost. People are struggling to get medication, oxygen and even basic services such as cremation are a struggle. So please help support India in these dire times. Every pound can go a long way.

Thank you for all your help and support.

Help the Vulnerable through Coronavirus lockdownIndia's COVID-19 lockdown has left many vulnerable communities without food for an indefinite period. Families that depend on daily wages do not know when their jobs will resume. Meanwhile, support from overburdened state governments has often been delayed or insufficient.By giving £10, you can cover a month of basic rations for an entire family.We are aiming to raise £5000 in order to help all families affiliated with schools supported by Asha London in West Bengal. Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Please donate to support our efforts. Every donation large or small matters!
