In 2019 and 2020, I am taking part in numerous events to raise money for Unicef UK, culminating in climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with colleagues from my employer, Autovista Group. These will likely push me to a physical limit, but should also be a tremendous achievement once completed. So, what am I doing...
- Brighton Marathon - April, 2019. 26.2 miles of running 'fun', my first marathon. Gulp...
- Dragon Ride Sportive, Wales - June, 2019. 140 miles of hilly (mountainous?) cycling, in the Brecon Beacons.
- L'Etape UK Sportive by le Tour de France, Bucks - July, 2019. 100 miles of arduous cycling, in the Chilterns.
- Stelvio Pass, Italy - August, 2019. Cycling 48 hairpin bends up and over the second highest mountain pass in the Alps (2,795m / 9,045ft).
- Lake District Challenge - October, 2019. Hiking three peaks in the Lake District National Park in England (Helvellyn, Cat Bells, Skiddaw).
- Mount Kilimanjaro - February, 2020. The final act of it all - climbing the highest mountain in Africa, the tallest freestanding mountain on earth (5,895m / 19,341 ft)!
Across 190 countries and territories, UNICEF defends the rights of children and young people. Please help me support Unicef by sponsoring me in my activities to reach my individual target of £1,750 (€2,000). Every child deserves the right to be a child, and every pound raised can make a difference.
- £60 could help two families collect and store clean water with an emergency water and hygiene kit.
- £125 could provide blankets for 25 babies.
- £260 could protect 2,000 children from polio by providing lifesaving vaccinations.
- £590 could help 160 children continue their education with Unicef's school in a box.
- £1,100 could supply a tent for a temporary school or health centre.
