The pair will be tackling a 289-mile bike ride across India, starting in Delhi and travelling across Rajhastan, the largest state in India. The girls will be challenging hot and sandy deserts, barren rural towns, as well as travelling through some of the biggest cities, such as Jaipur, otherwise known as the Pink City for its infamous architecture, and Agra, home to the Taj Mahal.
It's not every day that you hear of two Essex girls cycling across the terrain of India, but this is all for such a good cause that they couldn't possibly turn it down. Great Ormond Street Hospital is one of the world's leading children's hospitals, giving treatment, care and hope to children suffering with often life-threatening conditions, both to children from the UK and from across the world. The charity need to raise over £50 million a year in order to maintain the hospital, keeping it refurbished to maintain a comfortable haven for ill children, as well as to provide the most up-to-date and innovative care required to battle such complex illnesses.
The shortest journey that the model and presenter, Denise, and TOWIE star, Lydia, will be facing is likely to be a massive 5 hours, and this could stretch to a staggering 9 or 10 hours. The pair must be very brave to tackle such difficult conditions in India, but they know that they are doing it in order to help those children that continue to be the bravest people in the country who need the help of Great Ormond Street.
