This January i’ll be trading in the chalkboard, powerpoint slides, and laptop for a bicycle, a helmet, and thousands of kilometres of open road. What an opportunity.. to bicycle across (what i think is) the most beautiful continent in the world for 120 days, 12,000km and 10 countries: Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa.
While I expect that this trip will give me so much, I wish to give back with something I strongly believe in: bicycles. The most accessible, sustainable and efficient form of transportation in the world. The tour d’afrique foundation (www.tourdafrique.com/foundation) has been providing bicycles to healthcare workers in Africa for a decade.
1 cent/km = 100 $ US = 1 bicycle in the hands of somebody in the African community.
I will be tracking my progress (both across Africa and towards my $2000 fundraising goal on this website. If you would like to help out with a donation, let me know 
Special thanks to Greg Christie (www.gregchristie.com), for finding me the perfect ride for this trip and all the other bits of equipment.
