As Red Nose day approaches, lots of companies are working out how to support the fundraising event with workplace based activities and fun. But for one or two people, charity fundraising is more of a challenge than a bit of fun.

Take Alastair Humphreys, who at 24, started cycling for charity – he didn’t stop for four years! He travelled England to South Africa, then crossed the Atlantic by yacht and continued cycling from Argentina all the way to Alaska. He then crossed the Pacific by freighter (with his bike in the hold) and cycled back from Siberia to England. In total it was a 46,000 trip.

He wore no underwear (to save weight!) and made do with one long-sleeved cycling top and just two 2 T-shirts, plus loads of clothes in Siberia that he gave away when he left.
