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, not chance.

This July, I will be embarking on a 500km charity bike ride through northern Thailand, following the Mae Khong through one of the poorest regions of Thailand.

For this ride, I need to raise a minimum of $5,000 to support the work of the charity, Hands Across The Water, an Australian registered charity originally set up in response to the Tsunami of 2004 that killed over 5,000 Thai nationals

At the end of June this year, 45 of us will embark on the 500km bicycle ride, 100km per day in hot humid conditions, each paying our own way and raising a minimum of $5000 that will be donated to the charity.

Please help me raise the funds. Every donation counts - what little we do will have an unimaginably profound and lasting effect on the children at the orphanages.

All donations go directly towards the running of the orphanages and are tax deductible.
