17 May
Summary
- A couple quit jobs to cycle 20,500 miles for charity.
- They aim to raise £33,000 for World Bicycle Relief and Sue Ryder.
- The journey spans from Alaska to Argentina, covering 15 countries.
Jonas Pollard and Margaux Dumas have traded their careers for a charitable expedition, cycling from Alaska to Argentina. This ambitious journey covers 20,500 miles across 15 countries, with a fundraising goal of £33,000 for World Bicycle Relief and the Sue Ryder Charity.
The couple, who previously worked in art direction and customer experience respectively, spent the past year developing their communication and collaboration skills in preparation. They are particularly excited about cycling through Peru and Bolivia.
Pollard has previous charity cycling experience, having circumnavigated Europe for a cancer charity. Dumas acknowledges the significant personal challenge of the distance, anticipating emotional triumph upon completion.
This expedition is a way for Pollard to give back to the Sue Ryder Charity, which provided care for his mother before her passing in 2014. He anticipates his mother would have been both nervous and excited for him.
