Adventure of a lifetime

In May 2011 I left my home in Liverpool and begin to cycle about 20,000km all the way over to New Zealand. Once in New Zealand I will then walk the length of New Zealand for Action Aid. I hope to raise £10,000 for Action Aid and help change lives forever. You can also be apart of something amazing by donating then submitting a photo. This photo will then be added to 5000 other photo and made into a mosaic of the bollocks to poverty logo. A mosaic showing the support of people for the message bollocks to poverty.

My Message

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page, as you can see it's something a bit different than the average sponsorship page. These expeditions will see me eventually cycle over 20,000km, walk 1600km in tens of different countries. This will no doubt be a hard challenge but with hard challenges comes great rewards. These rewards will not only be personal for me but also for the families and communities that Action Aid constantly help. Check out some popular blog posts from the trip so far:
