Our chosen charity is Book Aid International. We believe books change lives. Books have definitely changed ours, inspiring ideas and creativity, giving us language skills, and aiding our education.
Please make a donation here to give impoverished children a chance to change their lives too.

There are many ways to raise money for charity, we have raised money at various events in the past including: walking on hot coals, London marathons, walks, running into the painfully cold North Sea on Boxing Day, sponsored fasts, dances, costume wearing, bake sales, book sales etc. We have always had a great deal of fun and gained as much for ourselves in terms of experience from each of the events as we have in monetary value for good causes. We believe raising money for charity can incorporate a fun element and we hope to have a lot of fun along the way!
In the past, volunteering time in Indonesian schools, in special needs departments, in reading to children, in conservation and environmental work, and in orphanages, amongst other projects, we have met some wonderful people and had a great amount of fun. We feel however that the money raised from this trip will directly benefit more people and reach the places we can’t volunteer in through Book Aid International.

This Cheeky trip is one we will consider to be the hardest of our events to raise money and also the most enjoyable too. Travelling is easy if you have money to buy all of life’s essentials and some luxuries but we will not be able to get these things. The challenge will be 15,000km without any purchasing ability. To see how difficult it is to start from nothing. To spend four months or more without this power to buy our way out of trouble will be hard because we are doing this in a world where it’s easy to get by if you have the money to spend. Our only currency will be ourselves.
We will survive with only our ability to work for favours, talk to people and smile. Our aim is to reach £10,000 for Book Aid, so for example, we are hoping that after we have worked on a farm in exchange for a basket of food, the rest of the money we could have earned (if we were able to take it) will instead go directly to Book Aid, in order to reach our target. Yes, we are asking people to be generous, but we really hope people know exactly what it is we are doing so no one feels they have been conned into helping us.
There are many very hard-working people making a huge difference, in the front line of world poverty, which we fully commend. We are in no way to be compared to these wonderful people, we are simply trying to raise awareness and a little money for those who can put it to good use.
