Hello and welcome to the official first blog post for Bike4Kids! We’re excited to kick off our fundraising tour and share our journey with you. After months of planning and hard work by our dedicated volunteers, we’re ready to embark on an incredible adventure from Hanoi, Vietnam, to Paksong, Thailand, covering approximately 3,500 kilometers through Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Southern Thailand.
About the Fundraising Tour
Our tour starts at the end of October and aims to finish by the end of December, just in time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Thai Child Development Foundation (TCDF) in Paksong. We’re thrilled to announce that my nephew Dries will be joining me on this epic journey. Dries and I have cycled together before, and his support and friendship are invaluable. Welcome aboard, Dries!
How You Can Get Involved
We’ve set up our website, created an engaging movie about our mission, and established a DonorBox for collecting donations. Our sponsorship model allows you to support us by buying kilometers for just €5 each. Your contributions will make a huge difference, and every kilometer sponsored brings us closer to our goal.
The Mission and TCDF
The TCDF is facing significant challenges due to the aftermath of the recent COVID-19 crisis. This year, they urgently need funds to support underprivileged children in Thailand. Our goal is to arrive in Paksong with a large cheque to help TCDF during this difficult time. By participating in our tour, you’re not only supporting a fantastic cause but also helping us make a tangible impact on these children’s lives.
Stay Connected
This blog will be your go-to source for updates about the project, detailed information about TCDF, and our fundraising progress. We’ll post a new blog every three-two weeks to keep you informed and engaged. Please help us spread the word by sharing this blog with your friends and family. Your support is crucial, and even a simple thumbs-up at the bottom of this post can make a big difference.
