Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This will the 8th year of the SCC Cycle Charity adventure and my 7th year running being involved.This ride has seen many people over the years sacrifice their time, money (as they pay for all costs of the ride themselves) and their butts in order to raise awareness of the Saigon Children Charity and to raise funds to help children in Vietnam get an education which we in the developed workd take for granted. We have raised over $280k in the last 7 years and hope to raise another $50k this year.

In Vietnam many children still struggle to get an education and their stories are often heart-rending. When, through hard work, they overcome these difficulties their triumphs are inspirational. They just need a chance, an opportunity to change their lives for the better.

Please help me to help them. Just $100 puts a child in school for a year, also providing uniform and books. $400 sends a youngster to university to follow their dreams. Giving up just one $4 cup of coffee a week can keep two children in school for a year! Every little helps, and the difference an educated child can make to his or her community, by breaking the cycle of poverty, is immense.

I'll be riding this years Cycle Adventure, around the hilly region of Dalat and on D3 heading towards the coastal town of Nha Trang. A total of 300km on and off road over 3 days - sore butt guaranteed - but also a lot of fun knoiwing we are doing this for a good casue and I hope you can support me in this by spending 5 mins online to make a donation.  

All the money raised goes to Saigon Children's Charity. SCC supports over 2000 disadvantaged children with scholarships every year, provide vocational and life skills training to help youngsters get a job, build schools in remote rural areas, and support organisations which help children with disability. The mission of SCC is to eliminate poverty through education.

JustGiving is a safe, secure way to donate. Just select a currency and amount, follow the instructions and your donation will be sent to SCC.

Thank you in anticipation.
