About Appeal

It's been a difficult year for many and there've been cries for help from different communities across the country. Over the month of July, Mark would like to raise funds to feed 3 communities here in Malaysia - a refugee community through Health Equity Initiatives and two animal shelters, Second Chance Animal Shelter and MeeFah Shelter. There has been an increase in pet abandonment as owners are unable to feed and care for them. 

Now here's the fun part!

Mark will cycle (currently indoors), 1km for every MYR20 donated; targeting a minimum of 1,000 km over 3 weeks. To put things into perspective, in 2020 he averaged 600 km (only!) of cycling outdoors each month. Pros in the Tour de France do about 3,400 km over 3 weeks. 

Raised funds will be distributed 50% to HEI (refugees), 25% to Second Chance Animal Shelter and 25% to MeeFah Shelter.
