For this challenge I asked a friend, Brett Robinson from Australia to accompany me - much to my delight Brett said yes!! Brett and I meet during the Cairns to Karumba (C2K) bike ride in 2011.
Brett happens to have 7 weeks available during my holiday block.
Therefore together we will accomplish the target distance of 3000km.
This will be Brett's first visit to Thailand.
For me Thailand is my second home, especially since I lived there for 6 years (2002 - 2008).
We will be on our touring bikes with panniers, staying in guest houses throughout beautiful Thailand.
I currently live in Laos and that's why I have selected Lotus Educational Fund as the charity we will be riding for.
One of the founding members of Lotus Educational Fund was Dianne Gamage.
I first meet Dianne when we both taught in Japan. Fortunately Dianne now works in Bangkok and I'm in Vientiane.
Therefore this gave us the opportunity for our paths to cross again in early March.
At that point Dianne took the time to explain Lotus Educational Fund, the goals and objectives.
It's so perfect for me as a school teacher to advocate better education for all, especially girls.
