Racing The Planet Nepal 2011
Tuesday, 15 November 2011 (498 reads)


In November this year, a group of adventurous CWS supporters will take part in Racing the Planet Nepal 2011 to raise money for CWS. They will spend 7 days covering a distance of 250 km around Pokhara at altitudes of up to 11,000 feet!  While these intrepid supporters take on this challenge, you can get involved and show them your support from the comfort of your home or office by making a donation here.

So far these amazing CWS Racers have raised HK$217,000 for our projects in Nepal.

You may track each competitor by visiting the Racing the Planet website.  On their website you can also send each competitor messages that they will be able to read every day when they get back to camp.  Please send them a note as this will give them strength and encouragement to keep going.

The race starts on Saturday 20th November.  We wish them the best of luck; stay safe and have a great time.
