Story
Hello all,
On July 6th, I will be starting a 1200 mile solo bicycle trip from Ho Chi Minh City aka Saigon up the coast to Hanoi the capital of Vietnam. I would like if all of you could ride with me (#ridewithseth) on what I’m sure is going to a breath-taking adventure as I travel though this beautiful country that Korey and I call home. This will be the most challenging adventure I’ve done and along the way I will share videos, pictures, commentary, and some general positivity that the entire world needs right now.
To #ridewithseth on this adventure, all I ask is that if you have the means to do so, please make a donation to a charity for every mile I anticipate completing along this journey. For example, if you donate 1 cent per mile that’s only $12 dollars, if you donate a dime per mile that’s only $120, and if you donate a dollar a mile that only $1200 which just so happens to be the same size as the stimulus check many received if needed or not.
Like I mentioned before if you have the means to do so, please donate to any charity you prefer or one or both of my preferred charities which will be posted below.
The first charity is the COVID-19 Relief Fund at Northwestern Medicine. You can read about how your donations will help on my donation page at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/ridewithseth With that said, I would like to personally give a very big thank you to all the frontline nurses, doctors, pharmacists,and countless others who risk their health everyday to keep my family, friends, and the rest of Northwest Chicagoland safe and running during this pandemic.
For the second charity, Korey and I are partnering with our good friend
Jesse Pearlman to provide relief to the Flower H’mong people of Vietnam. I will let Jesse explain in this video about the charity.
When I arrive in Hanoi, Korey will be flying to meet me so we can hand deliver the donations to the Homestay and the Village. You can donate via PayPal at http://paypal.me/hellomcc . In full disclosure these donations will go into Jesse’s personal account and we will be taking 100% of the money out to give to the village.
I hope you all will join me and #ridewithseth as I make my way North through the beautiful country of Vietnam. It’s going to be one amazing ride!
Thank you and continue to stay safe no matter what side of the globe you are on. -Seth
