I’m Cycling 500km in Thailand for Children in Need
In 2022, I went to Thailand and cycled 500km to help raise money for the kids in “Hands Across the Water.”
Hands started as a charity in response to the devastating Boxing Day Tsunami in 2004 . Now they support 350+ children living in 7 homes and projects across Thailand.
We cycled 500km over everything between motorways, rural villages, fields and rivers in some very hot conditions, all to get to the home where the kids were waiting for our arrival.
We got to meet them and their carers and see exactly what our fundraising efforts were contributing to.
The whole thing is an incredibly rewarding & emotional experience.
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 their care by the police or government
Hands not only provides the life-saving necessities for the kids in the 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.
Any amount big or small will genuinely make a difference and I'd be proud to represent you and your efforts in 6 weeks time.
Thank you so much!
Aisling xx
