Story

For the month of April 2016, I am going to take on a challenge greater than anything else I have ever done - cycling the length of Vietnam. My team and I will begin in Hanoi, and end up 2,000 km south in Ho Chi Minh City. After living in this country for four months I am ready to take on this challenge.

I am doing the H2H ride for a couple of reasons. First, I want to help give Vietnamese children an opportunity to have an education and make the most of life, just like I was. Second, Vietnam is great country but there is a lot of poverty. Many people do not have decent wages or benefits, if I can help make a difference then I will. Third, I love a personal challenge. I have never cycled more than 20 miles in a day, so cycling 1,250 miles (2,000 km) will definitely push me physically and mentally. 

This ride promises to be full of challenges, as well as fun, and we are working closely with the charities we are benefitting. Please help me raise $1,500 to make a true and genuine difference to children's lives.
