I am working with individuals and existing organisations such as the Marine Conservation Society, Keep Britain Tidy, the RNLI and British Kitesurfing Association, to help me organise as many of the clean ups as possible. However, it\u2019s also a great opportunity for someone else to set something up and get schools and local business involved. Beach cleaning isn\u2019t just about cleaning up a beach and the environment. It brings communities together and is a great excuse to get outside, connect with nature and get some fresh air\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Keeping in line with the women focus, Kiko will also be looking for women to join the cycle, and whilst she isn\u2019t saying no to men joining, she hopes that the challenge will encourage more women to dust off their bikes and helmets to come out and join her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">People can sign up to sponsor or take part in a beach clean, run a beach clean, cycle, or follow the Kik Plastic
