Cycle to the Summit - How you can support the trip and our charity WaterAid

The story of a ride from London to the UN Earth Summit in Jo'burg, S. Africa

Find out how you can financially support WaterAid, get hold of some exclusive photos from our trip, help us publicise the Cycle to the Summit, or even raise money for WaterAid without costing you a penny!

Make a donation
You can make a donation to WaterAid, the charity that we are supporting as we cycle through Africa. For more info on the great work they are doing, check out our reports from the projects we've visited, or visit their website www.wateraid.org.uk. Once you're convinced that every penny is well spent, you can make a donation (no amount is too small!) to our Co-operative Bank Account. All funds raised will be donated directly to WaterAid on completion of our expedition.

In either case, don't forget to let us have your contact details, so we can keep in touch with you and say thanks!
