More about us
Jessica Van Damme
I'm the younger sister. I will be graduating as a veterinary surgeon in July. I've grown up with a love for wild animals and all things outdoors. I've always wanted to fundraise for wildlife conservation but never found the time for it. Last year I found out about LEJOG after meeting a Dutch cyclist in the village of Appleby-in-Westmorland. He inspired me and I decided LEJOG would be the perfect challenge to fundraise for wildlife. I couldn't think of anyone better to take with me than my sister, Maxine.

I started road biking 3 years ago and absolutely fell in love with it. It didn't take much convincing when Jessi asked me to join her on the LEJOG. I love to plan and organise bike rides. I am very excited for our journey through the country.
