I’ve signed up to do something completely wild! Driving a tuk-tuk 1,200 kilometres across South India.
This March, I’ll be joining fifty phenomenal women (including my powerhouse of a sister .notjusttravel ) on the Sisterhood Rickshaw Rally 2026; driving from Chennai to Goa in what’s essentially a brightly coloured three-wheeled lawnmower with a blue tooth speaker.
Six days of driving, 1,200 kilometres and the absolute certainty that it will break down a lot!
We’ll finish in Goa on International Women’s Day, which feels exactly right.
This adventure isn’t just about the chaos and the challenge; it’s about standing up for women and girls in India who deserve safety, opportunity and dignity.
I’m deeply passionate about maternal physical and emotional health; and about empowering young women and girls to shape their own futures.
That’s why I’m proud to be part of this campaign to raise £150,000 to:
• build safe, weatherproof classrooms for children in Chennai
• provide training and vocational skills for young women to achieve economic independence
• support maternal health projects tackling anaemia and complications after childbirth
The trip is completely self-funded; so every penny raised goes directly to the causes that matter most.

It’s going to be hot, chaotic and unforgettable; but every single breakdown and bumpy mile will help change lives.
