Help me make a difference

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!

10 year anniversary! I’m ready to do it all again!

Friday 3rd Apr
10 years ago I did the Hands ride, 800km over 8days raising 30k! It was one of the best experiences of my life. The ride 10years ago was in memory of our little boy who was stillborn 11years ago, the ride helped in the grieving process in more ways than we realised, for that I am forever grateful to Hands and the children we supported.

This time is different…not only will I be over 50 #livin50 (and still not a cyclist!) but Tony (TC) will be riding with me! (Yes on a bike, not in air conditioned support car like last time) 
I am also riding with the great team from NARTA who have supported Hands for 20years. 

What hasn’t changed is the amazing team at Hands and the work they do for the children in Thailand. 
So it’s time to get #livinlycra back on the bike training. Come along for the ride! (See what I did there) 
And regarding donations…happy to take any amount to keep Tony out of Lycra….
