Cairo to Cape Town on a bicycle!

From January 2009 to May 2009 a good mate of mine, Tim Gane and his pal will by cycling from Cairo to Cape Town. They will be covering a distance of 12,000 km's and averaging 120km's per day, each of them has put in lots of money to cover their own personal costs as its an expensive event to enter and organise. Click here to view their website and donate.

So, what are they looking for? Just R180,000 to help out a school in the Eastern Cape and build 2 more classrooms for the kids who really need it. Now, this is only (in today's rates) £11,486.91 or $17,928.86.

Which really isn't that much - for those of you who are from the UK/USA, you can definitely contribute a healthy contribution.

My pal, Tim and his mate only need to get 1800 people to contribute R100 (£6.38) - to the people in the UK/USA I think you could def contribute a lot more than that and I'd like to hear from you if you do.

Its time we stop living in our own small secluded worlds and open our eyes to see how the greater majority of the world really lives, we need to stop been selfish and just give a little back. A little is a good way to start!

I'm going to be helping out in terms of marketing, helping them manage their site, financially and hopefully even cycle one of the stages. Click here to go to their official website and donate!
