PLEEEEEASE sponsor me! Your sponsorship money will go to such a great place and make a real difference to children in Vietnam. We will be cycling for a month and ALL of our proceeds go towards the charity, we are covering our own expenses so we have a great opportunity to make as much money as possible for amazing kids who will really benefit. Every one of the Queen's good pounds will help encourage me to cycle faster. Think of my thunder thighs and donate! THANK YOU!!!

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. They do fantastic work and your donation will enable them to keep changing lives.
We are also raising money for the ILA Community Network, a group of orphanages and shelters that care for vulnerable and disadvantaged children. And also KOTO. (www.koto.com.au) KOTO stands for “Know One, Teach One”: their philosophy is that 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.
