Round The World Charlie My name is Charlie, and on the 6th of July, I'm going to set off on the adventure of a lifetime. I am going to cycle almost 30,000km around the world unsupported, and as a result, hopefully become the youngest person to do so. I aim to complete the expedition over 8 months, averaging 100 miles per day, and ascending the equivalent height of roughly 26 Mt Everests. There will of course be many challenges, ranging from the heat of Death Valley, to the humidity of India, but I hope to overcome them all, and record the whole experience for everyone's enjoyment upon my return.

A trip such as this requires a large amount of kit, and the costs of flights over the Pacific, and between continents will add up to many thousands. Although I have put my life savings into it I am still slightly short, so could do with a little help along the way - anything makes a big difference!

Any additional money will go towards helping the charity Mobile Midwives - I hope you agree that this is a worthy cause.
