This April 2019, I will be organizing and participating in H2H, an annual charity cycle to raise money for disadvantaged youths in Vietnam. This will be my third time partaking in the 1,250 mile long (2,000km) journey from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City!!

I can't believe I will be doing this ride for a third time, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to be involved in the tenth anniversary ride! Hands down, this has been one of the best adventures of my life and I'm all excited and nervous to do it all again! This time around I have some new goals for myself.

1: I have more time to dedicate towards the organizational part of the ride, and I want to bring more attention to the ride as it's the tenth anniversary of H2H and I hope my team and I can smash the previous year's fundraising records!! 

2: This time, I really want to slow down throughout the ride. Generally, I like to push myself physically, but I want to soak in every mile, every town, every smile and every high five throughout journey. Vietnam has predominantly been my home since I graduated university, and I want to use this time on the ride to give thanks and give back to my home. 

Each rider has to cover the costs of their own expenses, so this means that 100% of your donation will directly support H2H's five partner charities.

www.saigonchildren.com: enables disadvantaged children and young adults in Vietnam to overcome barriers to education through building schools, providing scholarships and vocational training. 

www.bluedragon.org : rescues vulnerable kids in crisis as a result of human trafficking, slavery and extreme poverty, re-uniting them with families, providing recovery services and practical solutions to everyday struggles. 

www.koto.com : 'Know One, Teach One' - empowers at risk young people by providing life skills and practical training in hospitality. 

www.liveandgive.eu : Runs schools and orphanages to help disadvantaged children in rural Vietnam.

www.facebook.com/ila.communitynetwork : Co-ordinates fundraising activities, provides scholarships and classes in shelters and orphanages to give disadvantaged children access to education.


Thank you for taking the time to read my story! Any donation, no matter the amount, will be greatly appreciated!! A little can go a long way!!

Best,
