<p>This June I am riding the 24 Hour National Bike Road Rally in support of the Karen Woo Foundation.&nbsp;</p> <p>Karen was a wonderful person who dedicated a lot of her life to giving medical aid to some of the world's poorest and remote people. She was tragically murdered by the taliban whilst on an aid trip last year.</p> <p>Karen was the sister of David Woo, a good friend of my wife Mandy. Although I only met Karen a couple of times, and couldn't profess to knowing her, I hope that the money I can raise will go some way to help this remarkable woman's legacy be a long and good one. Without people like Karen, the world is a sadder place.</p> <p>The Karen Woo Foundation provides grants to provide healthcare to Afghans, in particular women and children, to train healthcare providers (eg doctors and midwives), to provide medical supplies to healthcare providers particularly in rural areas and to provide healthcare education to Afghan women.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
