Bike for Burundi · 7 June 2025

Story

I know you’ll find it hard to believe but I’ll be 60 this year!

To mark this milestone I’m doing 'Bike for Burundi'.

What is ‘Bike for Burundi’?

I'll be cycling 683km in 7 days with around 38,000 feet elevation gain! Burundi is a beautiful country. But it’s quite a challenge with the temperature at around 25 degrees, some difficult roads and the elevation gain.

Why Bike for Burundi?

Great Lakes Outreach (GLO) the charity I am raising money for is truly amazing. Working in the poorest country in the world GLO is about Empowering People.

'GLO identifies, equips and empowers the best local leaders of passion, integrity, gifting and vision for the transformation of Burundi, bottom-up and top-down'.

I have witnessed first hand how the poorest and most marginalised in Burundi are empowered through the work of GLO and their partner projects.

Please believe me when I say this charity literally saves lives daily and gives people dignity and hope where there is no other hope for them.

You can find out more about the charity and the event below.

I would love you to help celebrate my 60th by sponsoring me to do this epic ride .. and you get to help the poorest people in the world help themselves.

So, if you'd like to donate it would be very much appreciated.

God Bless

Rob
