And the final fundraising total for H2H 2018 is....$55,089.89!!!
This is a new H2H fundraising record! Congratulations to team leader Craig, support leaders Davide and Ana, and all the 2018 team of cycling champions - fantastic job! What a dream team. This means that over 9 rides, H2H’s overall giving total now stands at: $338,747.38
Once again, all expenses were covered by the team and sponsors, meaning every $ donated went straight to our 5 amazing charities, providing access to education and healthcare for children in need across Vietnam:

None of this would be possible without the generous support of H2H's 17 official 2018 sponsors, donations from supporters around the world, raffle prizes and event hosting from local businesses, and of course the amazing charities themselves making a difference to families and communities across Vietnam. HUGE H2H THANKS TO YOU ALL!
In particular, H2H would like to thank the following for making the ride happen:
- Lead Sponsor DHL www.dhl.com.vn for the 7th year running, for providing a DHL support van and drivers. Everyday, the drivers transported the team kit and assisted with navigation, drinking water, hotel bookings and safety advice. Massive thanks to the drivers and to Truc, Shoeib and all at DHL - you are brilliant!
- Lead Sponsor Repsol www.repsol.energy for sponsoring the additional support van and driver that travelled with the team, and giving a sizeable corporate donation on top of this. Again, massive thanks to Phuong, Jesús and all at Repsol – you are amazing!
- Lead Charity Partner Saigon Children www.saigonchildren.com for managing the online fundraising through Justgiving and all of H2H's media plan. Linh, Damien, Angelique and all the team - thanks, you rock!
