I have decided to take part in The Big Ride 2024.

I will be cycling to raise funds and awareness for Street Child, a charity that helps children in the world's toughest places to access education and protection.

Street Child currently works in over 22 countries across sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Europe.

They provide emergency support, quality education, family strengthening, and livelihood opportunities for the most vulnerable and marginalized children and their families.

They also advocate for the rights and needs of children affected by conflict, poverty, and displacement. With their work so far:

-1,057,534 children were reached, out of which 468,575 were directly supported to access education.

-157,929 adults have been reached through programmes such as the family business scheme, education classes and teacher training.

-807 Schools have been supported either through construction or renovation to improve learning environments and 512 temporary learning spaces constructed in emergency contexts.

By taking part in The Big Ride 2024, I hope to raise at least (hopefully more) €575 for Street Child.

Every euro counts, and I would really appreciate your support.
