Iona's fundraiser for WWF-UK

Bath - London To Paris 2024 · 28 June 2024 to 29 June 2024 ·
I am a student at the University of Bath and am cycling from London to Paris to raise money and awareness for WWF. This particular challenge is a 3 day 280km cycle with one day to return home, commencing on the 28th of June.
This cycle is run by Choose a Challenge and WWF, with the requirement of raising £1690 for both our equipment and WWF. The reason why I believe it is a worthwhile cause is because although I am British, I was raised half my life in China and the other half in the alps. I have had the pleasure of getting the best of both worlds. Unfortunately, with that I have had to deal with the health complications of living with pollution in Shanghai and the heart wrenching sadness of watching the glacier next to our home in the alps recede year by year. WWF is a brilliant organisation fighting for the planet we all know and love.
I believe as individuals we can't prevent the direction humanity is heading towards but as a collective we can. By completing this challenge I know that not only will I have had an experience of a lifetime, but I have done something good, I will have been a part of raising money for a foundation that protects the planet we live on.
If you have the ability to I would be very grateful for you to donate to this page and if you have any questions feel free to reach out.
Group memo:
We're taking on a massive challenge and raising funds for WWF because our world is under threat like never before. We're destroying forests, choking the oceans with plastic and causing devastating changes to the climate. In the time it takes to say deforestation, another chunk of the forest the size of a football pitch is destroyed. that's every two seconds, every day.
Together we can save our shared home.
