Riding for Positive Generational Impact
We are now under a week away from this year's Chain Reaction Challenge, riding 1,000kms and climbing 12,000m over 7 days to raise money for Children in Need. Being on the Board of one of the amazing Charity Partners, So They Can, it's incredible to witness the sustainable, positive impact they are having in these communities, where better education and wellness programs are having a huge impact, effectively breaking the poverty cycle and saving/changing lives.

Here's one story from on the ground in Tanzania...
16-year-old Cristina grew up in extreme poverty in rural Tanzania. After completing Standard 7 in 2024, financial hardship made secondary school impossible, forcing her to leave the classroom and work as a maid to support her family - yet she never gave up on learning. Advocacy through So They Can’s Champion Network led to her selection for the Msomi scholarship in 2025. Now back in school, Cristina is shaping the future she fought for and dreams of becoming a teacher to empower children like herself.
