Story
Hi there,
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my donation page. I know your time is valuable so I'm going to keep it brief on here, if you want more information about my amazing adventure please visit my website www.emmatimmis.com
In August 2017, I will begin an enormous journey across Australia by Elliptigo. I believe nobody has attemtped to do this before and I have applied for a Guiness World Record for completing it. An 'Elliptigo' is an elliptical cycle, I guess the best way to think about it is to say it's like a bike but you stand up and use a running motion to make the wheels turn. I will be starting at the furthest road accessible to the west of Australia, and travel along the coast as much as possible, to the furthest point east. I predict that this venture will cover over 8000km, and based on an average of 100km per day it should take me about two and a half months.
I hope to raise lots of money for One Girl. This amazing charity uses donations to provide education to young girls in Uganda and Sierra Leone that would otherwise not have the oppurtunity. Educating a girl in Africa not only enhances her life but it improves the quality of life of those around her. She is less likely to be married young and become a parent while still a child herself. She is more likely to educate her own children when she is grown up. And she will earn more to provide a better life for her family. Please consider making a small donation to make a huge difference to someones life.
In the lead up to my incredible ElliptigOz adventure, I will also be taking on other small challenges and a little donation for any of these would be greatly appreciated.
For more information about my challenge please head to my website www.emmatimmis.com
Or follow me on social media.
Take care, Emma Timmis
Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to my charity of choice.
Thanks so much for your support!
One Girl Australia
One Girl is a charity empowering girls through education.
We believe that every girl on the planet has the right to an education. No matter where she is born, how much her family earns, what religion she adheres to, or what her culture says - every girl deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and be the best she can be. And when you educate a girl, she can change her world.
We're working in Sierra Leone and Uganda to give girls and women access to education, through four girl-focused education projects. We're on a mission to educate 1 million girls across Africa, and we hope you’ll join us. Find out more about our work at: www.onegirl.org.au
