A message from Rebecca as she prepares to fly out to Africa next week:-
At Fairweathers, Nick and I have supported Child.org for many years.
Previously we sponsored 6 riders to take part in Ride Africa 2022 and we travelled to Kenya with our family to meet them at the finish line.
Having experienced the end of the ride from a supporter’s point of view I decided back in April 2023 that it was my turn to take on the challenge.
And suddenly it’s nearly upon me!
This year we have sponsored 4 riders, including myself, to take part and we are heading off on 7th November to take on the epic five-day, 500km cycle ride across Kenya which starts on Sunday 10th November.
Every year, Ride Africa raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for international charity Child.org.
Child.org works with pregnant women, communities and government in Kenya to champion community based healthcare solutions that make pregnancies and births safer. Child.org’s Team Mum Pregnant Women’s Groups are working to reduce maternal and newborn mortality in Kenya. No mother, or her baby, should die from preventable causes
