Working with WWF

by Tom on Thursday, May 31st, 2007

WWFAndy, Mark and myself are all obsessed with the great outdoors. We all want to escape the life spent walled in and connect with the world outside, which is part of the reason we’ve all devoted our lives to this expedition. A few months ago, I met someone who had devoted his life to the growing environmental cause, and through this shared interest, we are very excited to have teamed up with WWF, one of the world’s largest and most respected independent conservation organizations. Observing and reporting worldwide climate-change issues and visiting conservation projects will be amongst the ways in which we will be working with the WWF to raise awareness of sustainability- and climate-related issues all over the world.

We would also like to welcome Kona on board as our bike sponsors. The Kona Explosif will be put to the ultimate test over the next few years - an unenviable task for any bike! We’re hoping that our bike-related research will pay off and that our journey will be - mechanically at least - relatively trouble-free!
