Run-Cycle-Stroll Event - Dec 16, 2006 Child Empowerment and Protection Fundraiser

For those of you that can't join the team in Cambodia for the Angkor Wat Bike Ride and Half-Marathon to support child protection and land mine survivors in Cambodia, you still have many opportunities to get involved.

Individual Sponsorship:
One way everyone can help is to become an individual sponsor by going directly to the website and sponsor Chamnan Keo who is a Cambodian university student from Battambang who leads the Village Focus fellowship team - it will be his first trip to Angkor Wat and he will do the bike and the run.
