Hello dear friends!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. If you did not yet know, this is a BIG year for me and it brings a fund-raising adventure - cycling Morocco! From September 28^th until October 3^rd 2019, I will be riding 50 - 100km per day (up to 2400m daily in elevation climbs) from Marrakech to Agadir, over the Atlas Mountains! This is my first trip to Africa so I am super excited!

Are you wondering, "Why is she doing this?" Well, I’ve chosen to celebrate some milestones (i.e., graduating from business school, turning 50, 5 years since last adventure ride...) by enjoying a sport I love in a new environment with my friend Karen (see photo) while supporting a meaningful cause. The ride will be organized by Life
Changing Adventures (https://www.life-changing-adventures.com/atlas-mountains-cycle-challenge/) and I’ve selected One Woman at a Time (OWAAT; https://www.onewomanatatime.co.uk) to be my constant motivation. I chose OWAAT because their mission to help women and girls at risk or victims of violence resonates with me. Through partnerships with local non-governmental organizations (NGOs), OWAAT listens to and meets the needs of women and girls in Africa, India and the UK with respect to educational, emotional and financial support.

​​My goal is to raise 1500£ (~$2000) by August 28, 2019. Please consider supporting this meaningful cause by helping with my fund-raising adventure. I appreciate any amount that you can donate including your good wishes and prayers!

I truly appreciate your support - thank you!

With love, Katie
