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.

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!

First Triathlon- Elwood

Sunday 3rd Mar
Just a little training update for you all. As part of my commitment to completing the Hands Across the Water Bike ride, i promised to challenge myself in the lead up to some events i have always wanted to complete. Last week it was the 10km fun run in the Philippines and today, Barton and I completed our first Sprint distance Triathlon. 750m swim, 20km bike ride and 5km run. And WE DID IT! While i am sure with a bit more preparation, I can improve my times. I am super proud of ourselves. Just one step in front of the next! We made it. Huge thanks to BJ, who is always up for a challenge with me.
Thailand, here we come!
