Story

My friend Toby and I are raising money for the Bowra roundation, this will be my fourth fundraising attempt and our first international challenge without parental oversight. Normally this route is done in 11 days, due to timings and flight costs we are going to try and do it in 6! We have planned this ourselves and will be self sufficient throughout. Thank you for your donations.
