Join Lewis on a Life-Changing Journey: Cycling the World for Hope

Hi, I’m Lewis. I’m 29, from Portsmouth, UK, but my heart has never stayed in one place for long. Over the past few years, I’ve traveled to 36 countries - not just to explore, but to serve. I’ve helped rebuild schools and homes shattered by disaster, worked alongside communities forgotten by the world, and discovered my true purpose: giving back.

From diving beneath the waves as a scuba dive master, sailing the oceans on luxury yachts, to living with families in remote villages, I’ve witnessed the stark contrast between privilege and hardship. What I’ve learned is simple yet profound: what people truly need is hope... and the chance for a better tomorrow.

Now, I’m embarking on my greatest adventure yet: cycling around the world. This isn’t just a personal challenge. It’s a mission to raise funds and awareness for the Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation, an incredible organization transforming lives in the Philippines’ most isolated communities.

Why the Yellow Boat of Hope?

Imagine children who hike for hours over rugged, mountainous terrain and swim daily across dangerous bodies of water just to get to school. Their school books bundled in plastic bags held above their heads, they battle currents and tides (sometimes waist-deep, sometimes fully swimming) to reach classrooms that hold their dreams.

The Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation provides these children with boats, classrooms, scholarships, and bridges - all practical solutions that open doors to education and opportunity.

Education is more than just learning; it’s a powerful tool to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty. When children gain access to quality education, they unlock the potential to build better futures for themselves, their families, and their communities.

How You Can Make a Difference

Every mile I pedal will represent the distance these children travel daily to chase their dreams. Every drop of sweat will be for the classrooms rebuilt, the boats launched, and the futures changed.

This journey is bigger than me. It’s about showing that one person, one bike, and one cause can spark real change. Your support will help build more boats, fund more classrooms, and bring hope to children who need it most.

If my ride can help even one more child reach school safely, every climb, every flat tire, every mile will be worth it.
