A relay-style cycle challenge to Athens. Each participant takes on just one or two weeks of the overall trip. Each leg is completed in small, tight-knit groups. Don’t expect hotels or showers, just adventure... when you don’t know where you’ll sleep that night, the mountain never ends and you embrace the unknown.
​

Cycling is simple, migration is complicated. Do one and learn about the other.
Join a hundred others for a weekend of learning the old school way: human to human.
​Stories, talks and discussions with refugee projects and those personally affected.

Over the last decade, many millions of people have been forced to flee to the European Union by land or sea. For the vast majority of these people, their struggle isn't over, the challenges they face continue in new ways.

Children are growing up without access to education or real homes. Support from NGOs and government bodies is proving insufficient. A lack of support and funding, teamed with unhurried bureaucracy, means lives are put on hold.

These are big challenges that can feel hard to measure against our own individual capacity. However, as a collection of people with a common goal, we can have power and can make significant change.

You’re invited to join us doing this in the weird way we’ve decided to - with just a bicycle, a wiggly red line on a map, and the decision to stand up for what you believe in.

​ So far we’ve collectively cycled a third of the circumference of the world and we’ve raised £239,000

The money fundraised goes to grassroots refugee projects, specifically paying for their ‘boring’ stuff. Too many funders want to pay just for tangible items, such as food, clothes and books that make for pretty pictures of smiling kids. This can make awesome projects unable to pay for rent, bills and maintenance. We want to give grassroots projects the stability to make them flourish, so we focus on the areas money is needed most. ​

So far the money raised has solely gone on Khora’s Community Centre in Athens, on their rent, bills and maintenance. This has enabled them to serve over 240,000 meals, provide 5326 legal assessments, hold 6620 classes and work on over 2553 teeth in the dentistry!
​
Khora now has a new building which focuses on having a restaurant, cafe and community space. 
​

This comes as many food projects close in Athens and food is scarce for vulnerable people. We’re proud to say we’ve already raised enough for their rent and bills for the next year, so our fundraising this year will extend to Help Refugees and the grassroots projects they fund.
