Cycle Kenya in support of Transaid

I am fundraising by mountain biking through Kenya.

This is a 50 miles a day challenge for 6 days through the beautiful but rough terrain of Eastern Africa.

In sub-saharan Africa, road deaths are the third biggest killer following HIV/AIDS and Malaria (Source: The World Bank) and the problem will only rise with the growing population. Drivers are at risk every time they sit behind the wheel due to a lack of legal enforcement and training, and badly maintained and overloaded vehicles.

We empower people to transform their own lives through access to vital services, such as healthcare

People living in rural areas of Africa often struggle to access vital services. Around 75% of maternal deaths can be avoided through timely access to vital childbirth-related care (Source: The World Bank).

Our work includes an Emergency Transport Scheme to transport pregnant mothers with complications. We also help community health workers reach the families who need them.

Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
