We are raising funds to help children who do not have internet access. £10 will provide one child with free internet access for a year. Internet access will allow each child to stay connected with their family, friends, school teachers and others.
We plan to raise funds by hypothetically cycling from the Eden Project, Cornwall, to the new Eden Project site in Morecambe. A total distance of 400 miles (644km). We will be recording our personal journeys on Strava, please join our club "Connecting Children Project" - https://www.strava.com/clubs/651428. Each cyclist will use a turbo trainer inside and/or ride up to one hour outside in their local area. We are inviting as many cyclists as possible to join the journey! This is not a race, rather the opportunity to join like minded folk cycling and raising funds for a good cause.
