2025 -will be my fifth ride for hands across the water I am raising money to support the children of Hands Across the Water because I believe that all children deserve to build a future full of possibilities, opportunities and dreams - a life of choice, n

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.

My hope is that you will make the choice to join me in this experience and help me reach my personal fundraising goal. Please make a donation today to support these children and provide them with a better future. 

Together we can truly make a difference - Donate now!

Getting more real

Monday 27th Jan
Today’s weather was just a taste of some of the heat that will be experienced in Thailand. got on the bike early so that I could avoid our scorching UV rays so important to get time in the seat and have my head in the right space ready to ride 700 km over seven days with a fantastic group of riders supporting hands across the water and thanking everyone for donations

It’s getting REAL !!

Thursday 23rd Jan
Not long now until I join the amazing bunch of humans for Digital Live Ride 2025 And any opportunity I have to get on the bike and get some kilometres in the legs and time on the seat is definitely worth it. Although nothing came prepare us for the heat humidity and atmosphere. But doing this ride is absolutely worth all of the experiences along the way. Please help by giving what you can to this Fantastic cause.

Real Estate Kate update Feb 24

Sunday 4th Feb
As Real Estate Kate, my journey toward the Digital Live Ride 2025 has already begun, thanks in no small part to the foundation laid by my consistent training efforts. Alongside my steadfast riding partner, Julianne Ball, who has shared every ride with me since 2020, we're gearing up for an even more impactful 2024.

Balancing a full-time career in real estate, I seize every opportunity to train in the stunning and supportive goldfields region of Victoria. This unique setting not only enriches my living experience but also enhances my training with its vibrant community backing.

With an eye toward reaching my peak in 2025, I'm currently channeling my efforts into fundraising for the 2024 ride, and then the focus will be on 2025. I aim to have raised at least $50,000 in total by that time for hands across the water with the support of friends, family, clients and my community. Every donation is deeply appreciated. For those interested in following my journey, I invite you to connect with me on my Facebook page, where I'll continue to share updates leading up to and throughout the 2025 ride.

Thank you to my Sponsors
