Hello All :-)

We met back in 1982 at the tender age of 13 at school in Scarborough, sunny North Yorkshire. 42 years later we are still firm friends having much fun and adventures along the way and here we are heading off on a bike ride!

So whose idea was this, Julia?……….450km cycling in crazy heat through Vietnam and Cambodia.

Starting on 30th November, 'meandering along the Mekong Delta from Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam to Angkor Wat in Cambodia'. 5 days of cycling that sounds romantic through 'banana plantations, along river banks, observing merchants at work at the floating markets, passing friendly villages and orchards' .... no mention of sore bottoms, how do we get the braces off to ‘wee’, chaffing in areas we are yet to discover, sweating, bug bites and aching limbs but hey this is all for 2 amazing charities.

The money you donate will support the vital work of 2 Women V Cancer charities who are raising awareness, providing support and funding research into breast and ovarian cancers.

If you’d like to know more about how each charity is making a difference for women affected by cancer, visit their websites:

PLEASE NOTE! We are self funding this trip so know that ALL the money raised here goes to these 2 charities.
