Hello everyone. Some of you may remember that I cycled across the UK, Land's End to John O Groats, a few years ago to raise money for Saigon Children's Charity.
So it's high time I did something again, and I'm therefore joining this year's SCC Charity Cycle Adventure and hope to raise over US$3,000.
Please sponsor me to ride!
In Vietnam many children still struggle to get an education and their stories are often heart-rending. When, through hard work, they overcome these difficulties their triumphs are inspirational. They just need a chance, an opportunity to change their lives for the better.
Please help me to help them. Just $100 puts a child in school for a year, also providing a uniform and books. $400 sends a youngster to university to follow their dreams. Giving up just one $4 cup of coffee a week can keep two children in school for a year! Every little helps, and the difference an educated child can make to his or her community, by breaking the cycle of poverty, is immense.
All the money raised goes to Saigon Children's Charity. SCC supports over 2000 disadvantaged children with scholarships every year, & provides vocational and life skills training to help youngsters get a job. They build schools in remote rural areas, and support organisations which help children with disability.
JustGiving is a safe, secure way to donate. Just select a currency and amount, follow the instructions and your donation will be sent to SCC.
Many thanks for your support, Richard
