Volunteer work in Cambodia

Hi everyone.

If your joining me from the link on the YouCaring website Hi! Thanks for visiting. If you have found this blog another way I also thank you for dropping by.

This post is going to be a bit different than my previous posts and will be one of many more to come. Later this year I'm going to be going to Cambodia on a volunteer trip. To fundraise some money for my trip(and for some charities more on that later) I have decided to not just post a random fundraising page but to do something to get people more interested in it. My goal is to walk to Cambodia by walking 1km for every 10km it takes to get there. That makes a big total of 1355.8 km. To reach this goal I'm going to have to do 5.6 Km a day. All this starts Monday and continues until a couple day's before my trip.

On this blog I will post very often on my progress and on every post will be how much I walked in one day and how much the total is. This is a big feat for me for a couple reasons (more on this page here) and because of those reason I'm very determined to succeed in the challenge I have put out there for myself.

Of all the money I frundraise half will go in the travel costs it will take for me to go to Cambodia and half of all the money raised will be split equally to two Charities. The first is Reach out Volunteers which is the charity of the organization I'm volunteering with (for more on this charity click here). The second is Exceed which provide prosthetic's to people who can't afford them in Cambodia. They also help with teaching people and a lot more. Check out there website here for more information. Both these charities are fantastic in my opinion because they provide help to people who really need it.

So after reading all this if your interested in following my progress there's many ways to do this. You can either follow my blog by email or by your google account, you can follow me on twitter or just check this blog regularly. If your interested in donating follow the on the side bar to my YouCaring account through which I'm doing the fundraiser you'll be able to donate starting tomorrow September 21st.

I can't wait to get started, I hope you'll follow me in this adventure.
