It’s official! I set a new Guinness World Records by cycling 1706.85km (1,060 miles) in 1 week* to shine a light on a documented human trafficking route.
To recap, it was a memorable (lifetime memories created), challenging (there were many times when I didn’t think I’d make it – more to come about those in the docu being made), and really enjoyable (c’mon, cycling the length of Spain!)
It’s also been hugely impactful in raising awareness of modern day slavery. There’s been more than 20 press articles and knocking on 1 million social media impressions. Thanks for liking and sharing, folks.
The full ‘El Gordo’ cycle, from 1-18 October 2021, was also a fundraiser for Freewheel by Ride For Freedom that empowers survivors to cycle – read more and please donate to make a difference to survivors’ lives.
