Jude Kriwald has never cycled long distances before, he once cycled 30 miles to the Isle of Wight only to save money.

He is neither a avid cyclist who goes on pleasure rides each day or a cyclist who chooses to compete in the sport. Despite this he has chosen to cycle from England, Somerset to India, Amritsar for a really worth cause; St Margaret's Hospice.

There are many easier ways to fundraise than to cycle across two continents but few will provide as much of a challenge and a sense of achievement upon completion. Jude hopes that the copious amount of effort required to cycle 40 miles a day and to camp out in the wild every night will inspire people to donate!
