About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Cycling to the World Cup from London-Rio raising 20K for TackleAfrica

ABOUT ME

I am an honest down to earth guy, very easy company and loves to see the world. Ride2Rio has four simple aims!

1. To cycle 25,000kms across four continents from London to Rio, with the aim of arriving in time for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

2. On route I plan to play at least one game of football in each country and also visit some of the amazing development through football projects around the world connected to the Street Football world network. As well as playing, a core part of my journey will be delivering HIV Education through football workshops in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania for my chosen charity.

3. Stay with as many couch surfers as possible on route!

3. Finally, and most importantly I hope to raise £20,000 for my chosen charity, Tackle Africa.

PHILOSOPHY

if your not living on the edge your taking up too much space!!!!
