Story

So yes, I am doing the H2H ride again.  2,000 kilometers.  It's basically like riding from Seattle to San Diego.

Because last year was such an unforgettable experience, and because I am fortunate enough to be in a position where I can do this, and also because of the cajoling of some past riders, (and the thumbs-up from my boss) I decided to make the leap.  Visiting these charities last year really stuck with me, how much we take for granted and how lucky we are to have parents and friends and not worry about where our next meal is coming from.  I've already got the bike and all the equipment, it's time to train and train and get my legs ready for this monumental challenge.  

Just like last year, 100% of your donation goes directly to the five charities:

Saigon Children: www.saigonchildren.com. Blue Dragon:www.bluedragon.org KOTO: www.koto.com.au, Live and Give: www.liveandgive.eu,ILACN: www.facebook.com/ILA.CommunityNetwork

The ride starts on March 30th and we cross the finish line on April 26th.  I'll be posting on Facebook every day like last year, keep those posts coming during the ride because they REALLY help me get up those hills in the heat.  And if you have a few bucks to donate, that would be appreciated as well.  Last year I raised $2,368, let's see if we can match or beat that!

Thanks and wish me luck,

Andy
