Mind - the Vietnam bike ride
Leading mental health charity Mind is offering the adventurous an amazing
opportunity; the chance to take part in a sponsored bike ride through Vietnam
in November 2001. This exciting 10-day trip takes participants from the
majestic Marble Mountains to the bustling city of Saigon via an amazing
backdrop of verdant rainforest and paddy fields. It also offers the rare
opportunity to step back in time away from the pressures of modern life and
experience the overwhelming friendliness of the Vietnamese people.
In return for the initial fee of £299 and minimum sponsorship level,
entrants will receive all accommodation, meals, bike, lots of moral and
fund-raising support. You don't have to be super-fit because Mind will provide
training advice to ensure everyone is ready for the challenge. Prizes will
also be awarded to top fund-raisers.
Sponsorship from just one participant could fund the entire Mind InfoLine
for 4 working days, helping 400 people in crisis. Mind provides vital support
to the one in four people experiencing mental health problems.
