Goodbye USA


We have just finished our training period in the US and arrived in England this afternoon, with two more weeks of training to look forward to before we set off on our challenge. We both want to thank Zeina's friends and family who have all been so supportive during our recent stay in Oakland and New York: Nathalie & James, Theo & Raven, Zeena & Mark (thanks for the hats and water bottles Mark!) Namir, Zach, Noura and the rest of Zeina's family and friends. We will be picking up our bikes in London early next week to begin the final phase of training with fully-loaded panniers and plenty of long days in the saddle.

As of today, we have raised nearly £1,500 in donations. Thank you to all the people who have already donated, it is your kindness and generousity that will inspire us to complete this difficult challenge when the going gets tough in a few weeks! We'll have some more updates early next week after we visit one of our sponsors, the SEA LIFE London Aquarium and have attended the unveiling of their new Fiji display to promote the Moon Reef MPA.
