I have just come across the most phenomenal story of a group of friends cycling from Cairo to Cape Town to raise money for an organisation called MILLENNIUM PROMISE and after looking through the site, the pics of their epic journey and the villages they are helping throughout Africa, I was moved to make a donation to help them reach their $300,000 target and encourage everyone else to do the same. These are the kind of endeavours that make my soul sing - they prove how one small group of individuals can change the course of the world and make a huge impact by taking action and giving back.
Four reasons why you should support - a note from Didi - the girl on the road:
1. I’m breaking my back out here - You don’t cycle from Cairo to Cape Town everyday, particularl y if this means spending the next 6 months with 7 men and their combined sense of humour. I have cycled 5000km so far.
2. It’s for an awesome cause - The Economist magazine (June 2007) describes Millennium Promise’s results as “astonishing”. This initiative is not about endless giving and handouts. This is a research-based plan that has an end in sight for each village within the program. After 5 years of funding, a village is sustainable and 5000 people are free of extreme poverty.
3. I hate bikes - No really. Like all my team mates, I know very little about bikes, have not really done 
much cycling before, and until recently didn’t know how to change a tyre… I’m learning.
If you feel that one of these is reason enough to join my cause, please make a donation of any size. Your support means the world to me, and more importantly, will make a dramatic impact on the ground.
Please follow our journey via our website - MILLENNIUM CYCLE FOR CHANGE and see if you can donate something towards the cause.
And I WILL see you in Cape Town!
Keep on moving forward fearlessly in the direction of your passion and dreams.
