Soul Feed Academy: Cycling mums to tow toddlers 1,000km across Turkey
As seen on Soul Feed Academy on 26 October 2026: our Turkey cycling adventure appeared in its Inspirational section, which shared an excerpt from the BBC News feature.
My friend Tori Williams and I set out to see how far we could cycle across Turkey with our toddlers, Skyla and Leo. We aimed for 1,000 km and rode to raise money for Leukaemia UK in memory of Tori’s mum, Wendy.
This was a pickup of the original BBC News story.

The Girl On A Bike thegirlonabike
I'm a bike loving, free spirited adventurer born and raised in England. Life took a turn in 2014. In a single moment life as I knew it was taken away by the momentary lapse in judgement of a red-light-jumping car while I was cycling. My recovery to fitness took a little over 7 years with 7 major surgeries and since that day I've made it my goal to make the most out of life. My biggest goal is to help encourage others to get up and get out there. It doesn’t matter what it is, but we all start somewhere and if I can do it, so can you! Let’s make the most of life, what we do have around us and have fun doing it.
