TechBikers Vienna to Budapest · 18 May 2018

Room to Read seeks to transform the lives of millions of children in developing countries by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education. Working with communities, partner organisations and governments, we develop literacy skills, a habit of reading, and support girls to complete school.

Story

I have 2 beautiful daughters (5 & 7) and I want every child to have the same opportunities as I strive to make possible for my girls.

Did you know that if every child received an education, 170 million people would be lifted out of poverty?

In May, I dropped my laptop and cycled over 300 kilometres from Vienna to Budapest with TechBikers and 50 other riders to raise money for Room to Read. 

In July, I biked 350 km from Paris to London. 

And now in September, I'm back at it again - this time pedalling 420 kilometres more from Copenhagen to Berlin.

Please support me with however much you can give.

Why? To support Room to Read's work on a cause I strongly believe in: providing children with an education. Focusing on childhood literacy is one of the most effective ways to improve living standards across the globe.

WHERE WILL MY DONATION GO?

100% of your donations will go straight to Room to Read, who have received the coveted Four Star Rating from Charity Navigator nine(!) years in a row. Funds will be used to build schools or libraries in developing countries such as Nepal or Tanzania. Funds go where the need is greatest.

WHAT'S TECHBIKERS?

In 2012 TechBikers launched in London as a means for the tech community to put down their laptops and pick up a bike to support charity, network and share ideas. The goal is to help children in need by supporting literacy charity Room to Read. Since 2012 over 350 tech professionals – including start-ups, venture capitalists and executives – have cycled 1600km between Paris to London to raise over € 300.000 for this fantastic charity.
