As some of you will know, I will be taking up the challenge of Ride for Sight 2016 - Kyoto to Tokyo
This is definitely going to be the toughest challenge we have ever done and we have been training hard since well before Christmas.
This is a self funded event. The riders pay for all our logistic, food, flights and other expenses; therefore all your donations go directly to charity.
Some stats of the R4S 2016.
- 4 days of riding from Kyoto to outskirts of Tokyo
- Covering around 500 kms
- On Day 4 of the ride we will climb Mount Fuji
- In total elevation gained for the 4 days will be in excess of 5000 meters.
USD1 gives a child vitamin A protection for a year
USD16 buys a pair of spectacles
USD30 provides sight-restoring cataract surgery
USD60 helps train one health worker
USD120 funds pediatric cataract surgery
Many thanks,
