Story

Hello folks!

We all quite like the outdoors. Whatever you're into, chances are it relies on a natural resource or being outside at some point.

Unfortunately, we all know that the world's a fragile place and that the only way we're going to be able to keep enjoying it for centuries to come is by ensuring our technological prowess benefits the natural world as much as it benefits us. Research by charities such as the Natural History Museum is unbelievably important in ensuring that the planet will be as gorgeous and habitable for the generations to follow as it is for us. For example, the Natural History Museum is one of the UK's largest researchers into the decline of the bumblebee, with their work hopefully preventing an ecological disaster as the trees and crops that we depend are left unpollinated by this improbable little mainstay of civilisation.

This is why I am absolutely thrilled to be raising money for the Natural History Museum through another passion of mine – cycling silly distances.  Any money raised will help inspire more people - just as the museum inspired me as a kid, as well as contributing to the ground-breaking research they’re carrying out on behalf of the planet.

So please donate and make Dippy the diplidocus a happy dinosaur (#cringe).

Much love for taking the time to read this, 

Laurence x
