Back in May this year I cycled from London to Paris as part of a team of 25 to raise money for the charity Computer Aid International. Computer Aid International acquires computers and laptops, refurbishing them and sending them to not-for-profit organisations in the developing world, for use in agriculture, health and education.
That event raised a significant amount of money for the charity (around £40,000) which has already been utilised in a major IT deployment in rural Zambia.
I have had direct feedback from the charity about the real difference that this has made to the people there, and this has inspired me to step up to the next challenge to further assist this cause.
At the end of October 2010 I will undertake 6 days of challenging, largely off-road cycling in the Kathmandu valley, again to raise funds for Computer Aid International.
This is a great cause and a huge personal challenge so I hope you or your business can support me (or at least enjoy reading about my preparation)

Thanks for your support !
