As you may know, John Bishop is about to take on an epic challenge for Sport Relief 2012. In one incredibly tough week, John will take on The BT Sport Relief Challenge: Bishop’s Week Of Hell.
Starting on Monday 27th February, it will be the most physically gruelling test of John’s life as he attempts to cycle, row and run over 290 punishing miles from Paris to London in just five days.
John will start the first leg of his challenge by the Eiffel Tower in Paris and will cycle over 185 miles to the coast in less than 24 hours. For the second leg, John is hoping to row from mainland Europe to the UK – an ambitious task for anyone let alone someone who suffers with bad seasickness.
As if all that wasn’t enough, the final stage of this epic triathlon will see John take on three exhausting marathons in just three days, finishing in Trafalgar Square in London on Friday 2nd March.
John is doing this for one reason and one reason only – to raise serious money to help people far less fortunate than bad credit loans himself.
In December, John visited Sierra Leone where he saw first-hand the devastating effects that preventable diseases have on children’s lives. In fact, every year, almost two million children in Africa die from diseases that can be prevented by simple vaccines. Pentavalent is one such vaccine. It costs just £5 and protects against five deadly diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B and haemophilus, which can cause meningitis and pneumonia.
John wants to raise money to help pay for a vaccine that protects children against five deadly diseases for 250,000 children in Africa as unsecured loans well as raising vital funds to support vulnerable people across the UK too.
