Fundraising for 1morechild

Registered Charity No. 1136112

I'm Jamie White, and this November I'm joining 130 cyclists on Ride25 Pioneers Leg 15, riding from Tijara (Delhi) in India to Kathmandu in Nepal. From 15–22 November 2026, we'll cover 1,185 km over eight days, crossing the India–Nepal border and climbing towards Kathmandu. This is the next chapter in the Pioneers’ 25-year adventure cycling from the UK to Sydney. For me, this leg is also a chance to turn a challenging ride into something that makes a difference beyond the road. I’m raising money for 1moreChild, which supports children and young people in Uganda and helps them access education. One of the riders set up this charity to raise children from the slums and turn their lives around from a future with very little hope to a future where they leave school and find jobs. The money raised pays for clothes, medicine, food and schooling. Many of the past children now help out with the new children. It is a small charity and the money really makes a difference with no money skimmed off to run the charity. The second charity is Lyra in Africa that works with rural secondary schools in Tanzania improving classrooms, water and sanitation and teaching so that girls in particular can finish their education. This year I feel particularly unprepared hence sending out a sponsor form 2 days before I leave! The week has much to look forward to but also plenty of time in the saddle. 5 flat-ish but long days - between 160-200km per day. Day 6 and 7 promise the first real hills with 2000m of climbing over 2 days. The last day the "Queen Stage" promises pain in abundance. Only 100km long but 3 big, steep climbs....my favourite - 3300m of climbing. Two of the climbs are rated Hors Category - highest level Tour de France climb. Its going to hurt. Please support my ride with a donation if you can. Every contribution is appreciated, and your encouragement will mean a lot during the long days in the saddle. Thank you for being part of my Leg 15 journey.
