Anastasia's H2H 2018 - Hanoi to HCMC Charity Ride
Fundraising for Saigon Children's Charity CIO
Story
Woooahhh! This April 2018, I will be riding the length of Vietnam; 1243 miles / 2000 km from Hanoi - the North of Vietnam to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) - the South, in 90 degree heat and 90% humidity, for a month with 19 other riders. I have been living in Vietnam for the past four years. I love this country and I am very excited to have the opportunity to be on the ride and give back to the community by helping to raise money for impoverished and at-risk children in VIetnam.
Please, help us in anyway you can, even a small donation can go a long way to completing our goal, making my day and changing many children's lives.
What is H2H?
H2H is a charity bike ride which raises essential funds to support Saigon Children's Charity, KOTO, Live and Give, ILA's Community Network and last, but certainly not least Blue Dragon Children's Foundation in Hanoi.
H2H rider's are 100 % volunteers who live and work in Vietnam and 100% of donations go directly to the above listed charities.
All expenses (equipments, accomodations, etc) are covered by the riders themselves.
Who are the riders?
We are Teachers, Journalists, Hospitality Managers, and Event Promoters, sales people and artists. Our backgrounds are as diverse as our Nationalities. However, our mission is the same : to make a difference & raise money for Vietnam's most disadvantaged and exploited youth.
