Raising £1million for charity
By the time Dave pushes/ pedals/ trots or flies his way over the finish line of his twenty-fifth 1000-mile expedition he hopes to have raised a total of £1million for his selected charities.
Your donations make a huge difference to the lives changed by the work of the charities below. Please feel free to donate to any of the wonderful causes below, thank you!
The AV Foundation
The AV Foundation works in East African schools and communities developing water system infrastructure to ensure the availability of electricity and safe, potable water for all.
All of the AV Foundation's admin costs are covered by a sister company, Africa & Asia Venture, meaning the charity is run on a no cost, voluntary basis. Schools in Uganda and Kenya have already benefitted from several 10,000 litre rainwater catchment tanks and connected guttering.

CoppaFeel!
When Kris Hallenga was told she had breast cancer at the age of 23, it turned her world upside-down. Twice she'd been informed by doctors that her concerns were 'hormonal'. CoppaFeel! was Kris' answer, and she now lives with Stage IV breast cancer at the same time as encouraging women to know their breasts.
I'm proud to know Kris, she's one of the most inspirational people on this planet, and CoppaFeel! deserves every penny you're willing to give.
