And the final fundraising total for H2H 2017 is....$42,009.10!!!
Congratulations to ride leader Zak Kester and your team of cycling champions - fantastic job! All expenses were covered by the team and UK Gift Aid, meaning every $ donated went straight to our 5 amazing charities, providing access to education and healthcare for children in need across Vietnam:
Saigon Children's Charity
Blue Dragon Children's Foundation
KOTO
Live & Give
ILA Community Network
None of this would be possible without the kind donations from supporters around the world, the H2H sponsors, the local businesses giving raffle prizes and the charities themselves. HUGE H2H THANKS TO YOU ALL!
