Two fascinating countries – one awesome charity challenge! Before the cycling starts there is time to explore the fascinating city of Saigon – the heart of Vietnam – before we commence with our journey. Then it's 382km of charity cycling taking us through many traditional Vietnamese villages, following gorgeous streams and rivers, passing paddy fields and adjacent to stunning mountains. Few locals will have seen foreigners cycling past and their interest and hospitality will spur on even the most tired cyclist.

After a fascinating river journey and rest day on the Mekong and Bassac Rivers, we cross the border into Cambodia and push on to the world famous temple site of Angkor Wat – arguably one of most fascinating wonders of the world! Built from 879 – 1191AD by the Khmer civilisation, Angkor Wat represents one of mankind’s most astonishing architectural achievements and is certainly the jewel in Cambodia’s crown.

A large number of the population have chronic kidney disease and can develop kidney failure needing dialysis or a kidney transplant. We raise funds for research into kidney disease, transplantation and dialysis and amenities for renal patients at MRI, NCA, Preston Hospital, Royal Manchester Childrens Hospital and the satellite dialysis units.
