Nick Stanhope

In March 2004, Nick and his team of two other cyclists, a cameraman and support driver, arrived in Trafalgar Square having left Cape Town 6 month and 12 days earlier and having travelled 10,000 miles by bicycle, through 13 countries and over 2 continents. The team raised over 50,000 for Anti-Slavery International and made an awareness film for the cause. This was the largest of Nick's challenges for charity, which have included walking, cycling, running and swimming for different charities over the last 10 years.

Nick currently works for We Are What We Do on their new children's book project. He has worked in the charity sector since leaving university in 2002, including work as a project manager, fundraiser, campaigner and volunteer for charities such as TimeBank, Anti-Slavery International and the children's disability charity Kids.

In Autumn 2007 Nick will be launching a new challenge concept called Project Footprint, where participants will be able to reduce their carbon footprint through Carbon Challenges. If you'd like to find out more, please feel free to e-mail Nick or contact Eye Books.
