Bike2MyRoots - a charity cycling project to transform lives

Hey I'm Emmanuel Adjei, a 37-year-old ordinary man with an extraordinary vision on a mission. I left my homeland Ghana in 2012 to persue further education in Germany. I hold a M.Sc. in Sports and Exercise Science from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), one of Germany's renowned universities and currently work as a Sports Scientist at my University's Sports Medicine & Sports Cardiology hospital

My Story

Bike2MyRoots: Cycling Across Africa by an African for Africa for a good cause

In May 2025, I will embark on a life-changing cycling adventure: a 10,000 km journey spanning 15 countries, from Munich, Germany, to my homeland in Accra, Ghana. Over 100 days, I will cycle across two continents - Europe and Africa, becoming the first Ghanaian to achieve this feat. But this journey is about more than personal achievement. It is a call to action for education and empowerment.

The Problem

In Ghana, especially in underprivileged communities, access to basic quality education remains a distant dream for many children. For countless young people, the hope of escaping poverty often lies in football, sidelining education and perpetuating cycles of deprivation. The result? A widening gap between the passion for sports and the fundamental right to education.

The Vision

Bike2MyRoots aims to bridge this gap by using the power of sports—cycling—to champion education. My journey will serve as a platform to:

1. Raise Awareness: Shine a spotlight on the importance of education in transforming lives and communities.

2. Raise Funds: Generate resources to support educational initiatives in Ghana.

3. Inspire Action: Encourage others to pursue their dreams while giving back to society.

Here is How Your Support Can Help

Your contributions will play a crucial role in two ways:

1. Fueling the Journey: Covering costs for cycling equipment, logistics, accommodation, travel insurance, and unforeseen expenses.

2. Transforming Lives: Directly funding initiatives to provide resources for schools, scholarships for underprivileged children, and programs that integrate sports with education.

Why Cycling?

Cycling represents resilience, endurance, and a connection to our roots. It embodies the journey many children in Ghana take—physically and metaphorically—to access education. By cycling from Europe to Africa, I aim to symbolically create representation and draw attention to the challenges and opportunities that lie in education.

What Makes This Journey Unique?

• A Pan-African Story: The journey traverses 15 countries, showcasing the diversity, challenges, and beauty of the African continent.

• A Personal Mission: This is not just an adventure; it is my story—one that resonates with countless young Africans striving to make a difference.

• A First of Its Kind: This feat will make history as the first transcontinental bicycle journey by a Ghanaian.
