Dear Friends and Family,
If exercising in Hong Kong in Summer can raise some much needed funds for underprivileged children in Cambodia and Bali, then I'll do it!!
That's why I have signed up for this Fitness Challenge hosted by Angels for Orphans: once a week, for eight weeks, trainers donate their time and put us through the killer reps to increase our fitness levels. We have some friendly competition going on between the groups (Dayle's Team is the BEST!!!), and at the end we'll see which group has improved their fitness levels the most (Dayle's Team of course!!).
And in between breathers, we are all setting up pages on the simplygiving site to raise some funds.
I have traveled in both Cambodia and Bali before, and have found them to have some of friendliest people on this planet. But they are poor countries, so you can imagine orphanages and kids in rural areas don't get a lot of chances. Charities like Sunrise Cambodia and Bali Kids help these kids with health and education, and this Fitness Challenge is just a small part of their fund-raising efforts.
Most of us live comfortable and healthy lives, so please, I implore you, open your hearts and your wallets, and help me raise some money for those children who cannot say the same.
