Lifebikers' planned ride from Cape Town to Johannesburg had to be postponed last year due to various activies that went on over the summer. This meant we couldn't coordinate diaries and had to reluctantly reschedule it for another year.

To make up for it, we're doing the BIG ONE! London – Rome – London, 2,200 miles round trip in 4 days! New date is summer 2013 and we can't wait.

We'll be counting on your support to make this our biggest fundraising ever.

It's the BIG one! Bike Ride 2012, our longest ride yet. Cape Town to Johannesburg seemed like a great idea till I checked the route out in Google. WOW! 1,400 kilometres, 2,800 kilometres return! … We haven't even factored in the traditional "where did hell are we?" moments into it either.

All the same, I'm aready looking forward to it and can't wait to raise even more for good causes.

Tomorrow at dawn, we set forth on yet another Bike Ride, the 2010 LifeBikers Ride. A-800-mile trip from London to Luxembourg.Words are not enough to express our profound gratitude for the support and donations. Now, it's excitement time. Essay is in, Tola almost touching down at Heathrow, and then we set forth...

It's almost a month since the launch of our new website and I'm feeling really exited about the response we're getting so far.

Many thanks to all who have sent messages and our heart-felt appreciation to donors who have begun to send in their contributions.

There's just two months to go and still a lot to do. We're very optimistic all the same that your support will get us through. THANKS!!
