I’m fundraising this Christian Aid Week! Why? To help people push back against poverty. Did you know, malnourishment and poverty affect more than 70% of people in Burundi?
Christian Aid are working to empower families in Burundi build reliable and diverse incomes. Take Aline, for example. She found a lifeline in Christian Aid after she felt the full force of extreme poverty, when an early marriage ended in abuse and violence. We helped her with small business training and she set up as a grocery wholesaler. Today, Aline can afford food, clothes, and essential healthcare for her family.
There’s more people Christian Aid could reach – and that’s why I’m fundraising.
The money raised can help ensure more people get the skills and knowledge they need to fulfil their hopes and ambitions. £10 could provide one person with the training that supports their family to set up a small business, such as selling home-grown vegetables.
Together we can make a lasting difference. Thank you for your support!

A second soaking on the Journey into Romanby from Harrogate. 588/581 miles complete, 26 days, 19 rides (20-62 miles), no punctures and one trip to the bike shop.
Red campion and buttercups complement the cow parsley in the North Yorkshire lanes. The hard miles of the first two weeks in May have permitted rain dodging over the last week and a week to spare.
Back in Yorkshire having travelled up the Pennine Way from Buxton to Halifax. Now heading off to Skipton, Harrogate and finally Romanby
Well on track to Buxton at 445 miles.
Early morning lanes are free of traffic and a fantastic start to a day.
A splendid day once the haze lifted. 350 miles completed. Next stop Buxton with a new chain.

Congratulations! This activity has reached 75% of its target!
Top and tailed the day with two rides in the Sunshine. Warwick is just over the hill and I am over half way home.
in the North Yorkshire version the verges are being taken over by cow parsley. There are still some cowslips and bluebells in sheltered spots but thankfully dandelions have had their day.
Bike and rider both creaking. One is easier to fix!
Congratulations! This activity has received its first donation!
After setting off from Land's end on 1 May I have wound my way to Tintagel Castle, through Devon and now to the Roman City of Bath at 240 miles (Day 8).
The weather has been kind in Yorkshire and the trip has included bank holiday trips to Leyburn and up White Horse Bank. All well with the rider and machine so far.
