Story

London to Paris: 320 km. 4 Days. One Great Cause.

On 20th May 2026, I will be taking on one of my biggest personal challenges yet — cycling 320 kilometres from London to Paris in just four days. This challenge is not just about pushing my limits but about making a profound difference for BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, a charity that embodies the spirit of selfless service with the belief that "In the joy of others lies our own."

BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha carries out extraordinary, volunteer‑led initiatives around the world, supporting communities through education, health, humanitarian aid, and social upliftment. Their commitment to selfless service and positive change is deeply inspiring, and it’s this spirit that motivates me to push beyond my limits on this ride.

The road from London to Paris will be demanding — long miles, steep climbs, unpredictable weather, and physical fatigue will all test my resolve. But with every turn of the pedals, I’ll be reminded that this effort supports projects that genuinely change lives. That purpose will carry me forward when the journey gets tough.

I’m aiming to raise £2,000 to support the incredible work of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, and I would be truly grateful for your support. Whether you donate the cost of a coffee, sponsor a mile, or simply share this page, every contribution makes a real impact. If you are a UK taxpayer, please don’t forget to tick Gift Aid — it increases your donation by 25% at no extra cost to you.

Together, we can turn this cycling challenge into hope, help, and opportunity for many. Thank you for believing in this journey and for supporting a cause that puts compassion into action.
