I've hardly climbed anything taller than a hill on a bike (I did come close last year when Emmanuel Nataf tried to kill me in Portugal). But for this year's edition of TechBikers, I'm taking on Mont Ventoux — an Hors Catégorie climb on the Tour de France — to raise funds and awareness for Room to Read.

Room to Read is one of my favorite organizations as it tackles a worldwide issue that is close to my heart — both personally and professionally. It fights for access to education and literacy, particularly among young women in developing countries.

Your donation to my page will be an investment in children’s futures. Thank you in advance for your support!

More about Room to Read

Room to Read envisions a world in which all children can pursue a quality education that enables them to reach their full potential and contribute to their communities and the world.

By focusing on literacy and gender equality in education, Room to Read transforms the lives of millions of children in low-income communities. Working in collaboration with local communities, partner organizations and governments, they help primary school children develop literacy skills and a habit of reading, and support girls to complete secondary school with the relevant life skills to succeed in school and beyond.
