“The whole charity event has been a humbling experience for everyone in the team, and made us more appreciative of what we have”. This is a line out of the journal of Winston Tse, who participated in last years’ China Bike Ride. Open your hearts! We may be many kilometers from the destruction, but feelings of deep loss are universal. Please help me raise funds for the children in need of hope and education!
