The challenge is to pedal my 3-wheel becak almost as far as driving a car (measured on Google Earth) from London to Moscow, or driving to the Western-most Turkish border from the Port de Calais.
Using the same e-mapping source, the elevation climb will be equivalent to starting at sea level, climbing to the top of Mount Everest, returning back to the sun-lounger on the beach, and then repeating the summit climb 3 more times. As I plan to record my distance and elevation in real time, we will be able to see how accurate the measurements are.
And, as far as we know this will be the first time anyone has attempted to pedal a becak the length of Sumatra - the 6th largest island in the world. It will take me through 8
provinces: starting in Aceh, on to North Sumatra, through Riau, Jambi, South
Sumatra, Lampung, and finally across the Sunda Straits to Java and into Jakarta via Banten.
The
challenge will take me through the main urban cities in Sumatra; Medan, Pekanbaru,
Jambi, Palembang and Bandar Lampung (so great exposure for any supporting corporate), as well as some lonely stretches (perhaps a little less exposure). It goes without saying, I'll get to soak up some amazing scenery, as
well as my fair share of heat, humidity and hills, but hopefully not
too much smoke from the forest fires that are prevalent at this time of year.
As stated in an earlier post, my goal is to raise as much awareness and as
much funds as possible for 4 charity organisations in Indonesia. I believe we can deliver a positive experience for any company that decides to get involved. The 4 yayasans we will be raising funds for are:
YCAB: focus on youth development via education,
economic assistance and welfare creation. Aim to help under-privileged develop
independence by becoming self-providing in adult life www.ycabfoundation.org
MCK: assists children from financially
disadvantaged families by giving them access to medical treatment & help
them go through a difficult time with dignity www.maryscancerkiddies.org
Wisma Cheshire: provide a home for
those with disabilities and whose families are unable to care for them. Offer vocational
training so residents one day can become financially independent www.wismacheshire.com
Puspita: assists
underprivileged and marginalized youth to enjoy their fundamental rights as
children.
Puspita also provides a shelter home for street children https://id-id.facebook.com/sahabatanakpuspita
Please note all expenses will be out of my own pocket, so
every rupiah donated will go direct to the charities. The corporate
sponsorship levels and the associated marketing benefits are listed below. Please also note the sponsor decides which yayasan (or combination of) they wish to place their donation with.
