Starting on 20 June, I'm committing to another gruelling challenge to raise money for Adara. This time, I am cycling 1,126km, all the way down the length of Sri Lanka in nine days - a greater distance than riding from Zurich back to London.
My challenge starts on the northern plains, but there's going to be plenty of steep climbs to tackle as I work my way south through the foothills of the mountainous central highlands rainforest. Long days in the saddle in the tropical heat will make this the hardest endurance event I've ever attempted as I ascend a total of 8,358m; an equivalent height to Mount Everest.
The money I raise will go to Kiwoko Hospital and improve health and education for women, children and communities in need.
I'd appreciate any sponsorship you can offer, as when the going gets tough (and it will!) it will keep me focused on why I'm doing this. So it would be greatly appreciated.
