The motivation for the expedition is not just to fufil a lifelong ambition to ride from London to Tokyo, but to raise awareness for and promote SOS Children, whose mission is to alleviate the suffering of orphan children worldwide by creating a safe place in which to grow and learn. During the ride I plan to see the work of SOS Children first hand, by visiting some of their villages en route. I also aim to link schools in England with SOS Children’s Villages that I visit. If you are a teacher, parent or student and would like to get involved please email for more information. I aim to raise £15,000 - thats £1 for each km travelled. Please show your support by donating to SOS Children via Just Giving or by holding a fundraising event. You can learn more on their work by reading the case studies, seeing an example of one of their projects, or by visiting the SOS Children website.
