WOW! A month of cycling - what am I getting myself into?! Training has begun, I have a wonderful bike and padded shorts are on their way. 

All my expenses for this ride are totally funded by myself so all the money you donate will go straight to the charities! Here is some information about just a few of the them that we're supporting...

 

• Our main partner this year is Saigon Children's Charity. The SCC aims to help disadvantaged children in Vietnam to reach their full potential through receiving a quality education relevant to their needs. The SCC is distinguished for giving scholarships, building schools, running a vocational school in Saigon and working with other, smaller organizations that focus on children with disabilities. They enable over 3,000 children to go to school everyday in Vietnam! Its area of operation is in the south of Vietnam, around HCMC, the Mekong Delta and extending to the Cambodian border.

 

• www.koto.com.au, KOTO stands for “Know One, Teach One”: learning should be passed on; knowledge is there to be shared. This is the essential idea of KOTO’s founder, Jimmy Pham, a Vietnamese-Australian who more than 10 years ago opened a training center in hospitality in Hanoi, giving disadvantaged youth the possibility to learn and strive in their lives. H2H pledges to raise enough for two years paid tuition for two street children to complete their training program.
