This past November I had the opportunity to participate in the
Christina Noble Children's Foundation CamNam Challenge (www.cncf.org).
This 420 km bike ride from Angkor Wat in Cambodia to Ho Chi Minh City in
Vietnam raised money for the Christina Noble Children's Foundation.
With the mission of giving children back their childhood and breaking
the cycle of poverty through education, health care and community
development, CNCF is making an incredible difference in thousands of
lives in Vietnam and Mongolia. I had the privelage of raising over $5000
to support the Foundation and along with 20 other cyclists from 5
countries, including my brother Gates, completed the challenge. I was
moved by the stories of the other cyclists and how each was motivated to
take time from their "regular lives" and ride as a way to be a part of
something much bigger than themselves. The ride culminated at the
Foundation school in Ho Chi Minh City and we were greeted by the
children.
