My name is Ben and I'm from the UK but currently living in Australia. I've wanted to do a trip like this for a long time but deciding when and where was the main thing. I always wanted to see the east coast of Australia so I decided that once I finished my work in NSW this would be a perfect time and place to try out bike packing. I wasn't sure if I would try to raise money because I didn't know how much I would get but I thought I might as well give it a try.

When my Grandad passed away in August, I knew that I'd like to raise money for a charity that would mean something to him. He was always so passionate about children's work, especially in the English church. But I thought that there are so many children around the world that need our help so bad. In places like Sudan, Gaza and Nepal there are children that need the work that Save the Children do, so I decided this would be the charity that I would raise money for. They also help children in England and other first world countries.

Want to join me in making a difference? I’m raising money to benefit Save The Children Fund, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
