Why are we doing this?
The objective of this expedition is to lead a team of 13 varsity students who will cycle a distance of over 1500km in 14 days along the West Coast of Peninsula Malaysia and past the border of Thailand up to Phuket.
The route will take us through over 20 towns, numerous major states in Malaysia and Thailand.
With such a huge distance, this expedition is certainly a huge challenge and test of our personal mental and physical limits.
At the end of this trip, we hope that we will not only emerge as stronger individuals, but also as individuals with a heart to help and impact the world that we live in.
Besides our desire to help the children of ST pocket Money Fund, this expedition is in a way an opportunity to live our personal dreams and passions. We feel that combining our personal dreams and passions with community work is a more sustainable way of contributing back.
With this expedition, we hope to reach out to other youths and inspire them; that in addition to living our (their) dream, we (they) can help the less privileged achieve theirs as well. This we hope, will leave an impact beyond that of our expedition.
