My name is Philip Howard. On the 10th of January 2013 I will begin a 12,000 kilometre cycle from Cairo in Egypt to Cape Town in South Africa. 
The Tour d'Afrique will take 4 months to complete and I will travel 120 kilometres (77miles) each day on average.

I will travel through 10 different countries, including Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. 

I am hoping to raise much needed funds and publicity for Pieta House. The Centre for the
prevention of Self Harm and Suicide.
