Hope you can support me once more as we take on our 10th Truants ride.

Our last jaunt was in Jan 2023 taking on the hills of Argentina and Uruguay.  This time, we set off on 22nd March 2025 starting in Zambia, crossing the border into Namibia and on into Botswana before heading to Zimbabwe to finish on Victoria Falls. We’re cycling through Chobe Safari park so we expect to basically be steaks on the move fleeing from the large predators- which for once, won’t be human…

With the children’s charities we support still being desperate for funding we are pushing to raise as much as we can to help those kids. Your support would be very much appreciated.

The Truants Foundation is now a registered charity  (1191441) and we have to date donated over Five Million Pounds to Teenage Cancer Trust, Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy, Save The Children and ChildLine NSPCC. Please help us reach the next magic number and help kids who need support in the UK and all over the world.

About Truants- Africa 2025

4 Countries = 4 Days. Africa- March 2025 

The Truants take a spin on the wild side through Zambia, Botwana, Namibia and Zimbabwe in their 10th international ride. Riding through Safari Parks, we'll see if they're fast enough to not be the game themselves....
