Dear friends and family,
Firstly, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to read this.
In June of this year, I'm going to be embarking on a unique triple-challenge expedition along with 11 other women from around the world under the banner of HER Planet Earth - a non-profit organisation headquartered in Singapore dedicated to gender equality and environmental conservation.
We will be doing a combination of mountain climbing, biking and stand-up paddle boarding across one of Europe's most stunning destinations, Switzerland. This will include summiting an alpine peak at close to 3,000m in the Furka Pass, biking 100km across mountainous areas and crossing an icy lake on SUP boards.
The objective of the expedition is to raise awareness and funds for one of the most underfunded humanitarian crises in the world: the Rohingya refugee emergency. The team will aim to raise a total of $50,000 USD to support a UNHCR Environmental programme in Bangladesh which includes reforestation, human-elephant contact management and youth-led climate action training activities.
*** This expedition is entirely self-funded with ALL donations raised going DIRECTLY to UNHCR. ***
Please help give whatever you can by using the donation form. Thank you in advance for your generosity and support, I appreciate you greatly.
With love,
Pear
