Help me raise £50,000 for Bipolar UK

From April to October, 2025, I am undertaking an epic 7,000 mile bike ride along the ancient Marco Polo Silk Road on a single gear bike in order to raise awareness of Bipolar Disorder.

The route I will be taking...

Silk Route Map - new

I will be cycling the Silk Road from the East Coast of China through to the West Coast of Syria. I will be cycling across China, through Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and lastly Syria.

I will be facing Mountains, Desserts, open grasslands as well as urban areas, and all this on a single gear bike with no support team.

Let's talk about Mental Health

My Brother suffered with mental health issues for years – and I did nothing.

And why? Because it was never talked about, it was never discussed, it was just swept under the rug.

Please help me prevent others making the same mistake I did.

If you are lucky enough to have any spare cash, please donate via my Just Giving link. And if you are affected by any kind of mental health issues or know people who are, please, please, please, educate yourself, talk about it and together let’s remove the stigmas associated with mental health.

I have provided a few handly links below for you to find out more.
