Story

Hello, Thanks so much for taking the time to visit my page. I would just like to say a few words to explain why I have decided to take part in this charity event. Firstly, having lived in Vietnam now for over a year, I have developed a great deal of admiration for the Vietnamese. They are an extremely kind, loving and generous people and often will go out of the way to help you. Also, I have been welcomed here with open arms and have been given some wonderful opportunities. Many of the people here however are far less privileged than me and by raising money to help some of the poorest children in the country. I feel that this is a good opportunity to give something back. Secondly, as many of you will be aware, my late father, Dave, was a very keen cyclist and in fact passed away whilst riding his bike. Therefore on a personal level, I see this as a chance to do something worthwhile in his memory. Thanks again for visiting my page, and a donation no matter how small would be greatly appreciated.
