DirectRooms.com reports that people looking to do a good deed should climb into their lycra and head to Cambodia to help raise funds for Temple Street hospital.
(I-Newswire) August 5, 2010 - Temple Street Children’s University Hospital helps sick children by making their stay in hospital less distressing through the development of new treatment facilities and the purchase of new medical equipment.
To help raise money for the hospital, organizers are planning a ten day cycle ride through Cambodia.
The challenge will include approximately 30-50 km of cycling per day, which will take place around some of Cambodia’s best attractions including the 7th wonder of the world, the Angkor Wat in Siem Reap.
From the 15th-25th September 2010, cyclists will also get to visit the capital of Phnom Penh as well as taking in some of Cambodia’s breathtaking coastlines.
The challenge is open to both men and women aged over 18 years and although cycling experience is not essential, a certain level of fitness is required. There will also be some training cycles occurring in Dublin in the months before the challenge.
People staying in Siem Reap hotels may want to look out and cheer on the cyclists as they pass through the city during September.
Lek Boonlert, marketing head at DirectRooms.com, commented on the challenge: “Temple Street Children’s University Hospital helps hundreds of children every year. Due to the number of tourists already visiting the world famous temples in Siem Reap, travellers should make sure they book their accommodation during this exciting challenge.”
