Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and sponsoring me as I take part in the Kilimanjaro to Coast 2026 charity cycle challenge in support of Transaid, the UK based international development charity focused on improving transport and access to essential services in low-income countries.

Transaid's mission is to transform lives through safe, available, and sustainable transport. Founded by Save the Children, The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT), and its Patron, HRH The Princess Royal, they work with communities, partners, and governments to address transport challenges across sub-Saharan Africa.

With a career in the road transport industry I am proud to have supported Transaid for nearly 10 years and this event will be my third cycle challenge to raise money for the amazing work they do!

The challenge takes place in Tanzania from 17–26 September 2026 and involves cycling 454km over five days, starting in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro National Park and finishing at the coast, with the route passing through rural communities, wildlife areas and a tough climb to the Irente Viewpoint before reaching the beaches of Tanga and Zanzibar.

To participate, I must raise a minimum of £4,295 (excluding the £399 registration fee which I have personally funded), with all funds going directly towards Transaid’s vital work.

Any contribution—large or small—would be genuinely appreciated and would make a real difference.

Thanks again for your support

Matthew
