~This June and July we're going to cycle from Cheltenham (England) to Morocco. ~It will take about 6 weeks to cover about 2500 miles, and we'll be completely unsupported and self-sufficient. We're going to camp and cook our own food, so our bikes will have the added weight of a tent, sleeping bags, camping stove, food and masses of water. ~We decided to raise money for WaterAid because of the amazing work they do in many developing countries around the world, and in Africa in particular. Limitless safe drinking water is something we westerners can take for granted, but millions of people make do with a meagre allowance of dirty, often diseased water. Currently 1.1 billion people are still without safe drinking water. ~When on our expedition, we will really have to think about where the next drink of water is coming from so that we can cover the miles every day - this aspect of long-distance cycling made us think of WaterAid. ~WaterAid is a fantastic charity, so please support us in any way you can. Donations can be made from our 'justgiving' page (see above). Anything you can donate will be hugely appreciated! Thanks a lot, Claire & Matt.
