Thank you so much for visiting our page. 

This is what we are doing ...

1. Attempting to cycle the length of Wales - 250 miles in 5 days
2. Raising as much money as possible for Mae Tao Clinic

The Lon Las Cymru is a national cycling route (apparently the most challenging one in the UK!) from Cardiff to Holyhead and takes in the Brecon Beacons, Black mountains and Snowdonia . 

Team members - cyclists and support team - include 3 generations: Ken, Lois, Mary, Reuben, Zoe and Matt.  Age range 8-67 years!

Of course this adventure is going to be great fun, but it is also our opportunity to raise as much money as possible for Mae Tao Clinic.

Mae Tao Clinic provides essential health care for migrant workers and displaced people along the Thai-Burma border. As well as a healthcare facility, MTC is a training hub for students from remote areas of Eastern Myanmar/Burma. They take their skills back to their communities where health care is often extremely limited.  MTC is also working with other key ethnic health organisations advocating for equitable and essential primary health services for vulnerable and displaced people throughout Myanmar/Burma. To learn more please look at : www.maetaoclinic.org 

Examples of what your donations could buy:

• £2.00 - 1 pair reading glasses
• £4.50 - birth registration for 1 infant 
• £4.50 - 1 delivery kit
• £8.00 - 1 month food and hygiene supply for a student
• £30.00 - antenatal care for 1 pregnant woman
• £60.00 - cataract surgery for 1 patient
• £70.00 - normal delivery of a baby at MTC
• £80.00 - One year of education for a school student (academic support)

• £570.00 - One health worker training course (8-10 months)
• £630.00 - Essential medicine to treat approx 420 inpatients and outpatients for 1 day

Many thanks for any support you can give.  We will try to post updates as we go - I wonder how many puncture repair kits we should bring?!
