Story

<p><strong>Me and my mom are doing a 400km (250miles) bike ride from Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) to Siem Reap (Cambodia) in 6 days, in aid of acorns charity. After completing the bike ride we will be working with orphans for three days, teaching them English and doing outdoor activities.</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"> <p>Acorns Children&rsquo;s Hospice cares for children and young people who have life limiting and life threatening conditions across the heart of England. This means they are unlikely to reach adulthood as a cure for their condition cannot be found.</p> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"> <p> <p>Acorns provides short break, emergency and end-of-life care, with a community team to support the family 24-hours a day, seven days a week. Acorns has helped well over 1,500 families in the last 21 years.&nbsp;Acorns are currently supporting over 600 children and 800 families but there are an estimated 1,600 families in our catchment area who meet&nbsp;their criteria.&nbsp;The money raised will make the life of the less fortunate that little bit easier.</p> </p> </span></span></span> <p>&nbsp;</p> </strong> <p>&nbsp;</p> </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</strong></p> <p><strong>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
