Charity Cycling Trip

On the 12th January Laurence Gribble (SH 02-09) and his friend Danny Wang, both from the Full Circle Education Group,  embarked on a 25-day cycling trip from Hong Kong to Cambodia to raise funds for Adventurous Global Schools, the charity they both set up more than two years ago. They have a fund raising target of three million Hong Kong dollars, roughly £300,000, and their trip will be broadcast over five episodes on the most-watched television channel in Hong Kong, called TVB.

The trip begins on 12 January from The Peak, Hong Kong, where Laurence’s last trip finished. They will arrive at AGS School, Sneung, Cambodia on 3 February. The journey is approximately 2500km and will be 21 days of cycling and 24 days in total. Danny and Laurence will be joined by Louisa Mak (Miss Hong Kong 2015 and non-executive director of AGS) - she visited St Bees last Christmas and did some filming with Laurence and the school Archivist, Tony Reeve. They will also be joined by Bryan Pun, a TVB host.

They hosted their annual charity dinner in Hong Kong in November to raise awareness for their venture and have a website where interested parties can discover more about the charity. Their trip is worthy of our support and they would welcome a donation.
