Actor EWAN McGREGOR has donated $2,000 (GBP1,000) to help a round-the-world cyclist complete his dream journey.
The star ran into 38-year-old Jason Lewis in Africa's Sahara Desert, while on his own motorcycle trek from Scotland to Cape Town, South Africa.
When Lewis explained his 13-year journey - due to end in October (07) - was at risk because of money shortages, McGregor and partner Charley Boorman handed over the money from their own funds.
Lewis says, "I'm hugely grateful to both of them."
