25000spins is dedicated to helping reduce global poverty and making a difference in our world. Why 25000spins? The shocking facts: * 25,000 children under the age of 5 die each day due to poverty-related causes. * Number of children in the world 2.2 billion. Number in poverty 1 billion (every second child). In November 2008 I was wishing to do some sort of challenge and to do something new. At the time I was working for an investment bank in London and life in so many ways was amazing for me. I decided to set about organizing a challenge to ride from London to Athens in the summer of 2009. My aim was to raise £25,000 for children in need. My trip of roughly 4,000 km to Athens would have my legs doing approx. 25,000 spins per day. Shockingly 25,000 children die everyday, £25,000 to raise and 25,000 leg spins per day. Hence the reason for the name 25000spins. Charity We are very pleased to tell you that 100% of all the money raised via the cyclists goes direct to either ADRA, UNICEF or Compassion. Our Vision 25000spins.com is a non-profit business dedicated to making a difference to children in need. Our vision is to not only make the lives of children better but to empower and challenge the people involved in the physical challenges.
