Getting Ready For The Start
On 29 June, TandemWoW be setting off on an epic adventure attempting break a world record and become the fastest women to circumnavigate the globe on a tandem.
We will be riding between 80 – 100 miles per day for over 18,000 miles. We will be crossing five continents and riding through over 20 countries. We are unsupported which means that we are carrying all our own stuff!
We are riding for two amazing charities.
· The Motor Neurone Disease Association provide care and support to those suffering from this terrible and incurable disease and fund vital research with a view to finding a cure.
· Oxfam provide amazing support in the event of an emergency and work to alleviate poverty enabling people to support themselves and their families and particularly, supporting women rights’ and giving them access to health and education.
We feel passionately about both charities and will be extremely grateful if you could help us by spreading the word about our ride. People can donate online at https://uk.
We are attempting to raise £1 pound per mile! If you would like to sponsor us for a day, we will dedicate that day to a person of your choosing. It can be in Memory or in Celebration of the person you love.
A massive thanks to our supporters so far.
