Bondi Chai - Martin Buggy

I hope you'll find space in your heart to help give the children supported by Hands Across The Water the options in life that young people everywhere deserve.

This will be my 3rd ride supporting Hands children and I'm once again amazed at how generous people can be in finding even just a few dollars from their constantly tightening budgets.

Hands Across the Water [Hands] started as a charity in response to the Boxing Day Tsunami. Now we support 350+ children living in 7 homes and projects across Thailand. 

The kids who come to live in a Hands home are there because they have no choice. This is often the result of one of three heartbreaking situations:

  • They have no known family to care for them
  • They have a family member who is known to them, but is unable to care for them
  • They are living in an unsafe environment and have been placed in our care by the police or government

Hands not only provides the life-saving necessities for the kids in our homes, they also support many families in an outreach program to help keep kids out of our homes.

Just as important as filling their bellies with healthy food and providing a safe bed to sleep in, with the support of amazing donors like you, the vision of Hands is to help these kids see the opportunities that lie before them, to see a life of choice.

Your donation sends not just money to these children, it also sends them a message... you're loved, your life is precious, you're worth it!

Together we can truly make a difference - Please donate now. Thanks in advance.

40 people, 40km, 2 hours, $2200!

Monday 24th Aug
The team at Our Gym Nelson Bay put on a fantastic two-hour ride for Hands on the weekend. Fellow rider (and gym member) Dean Purtle and I rode out the 2 full hours with 4 instructors from the gym and around 40 other gym members swapping out in 30-minute rides. The energy in the room was hair-raising, the vibe was electric. Thanks OG for your support - $2200 raised, and counting!
