Together, we can save newborn lives – won’t you join us?

Support us

We are saying a big congratulations to the Newborns heroes and heroines who have just completed the Newborns Vietnam Cycle a Difference Challenge Ride. Over the last three days, 19 unbelievable athletes took on an epic journey, cycling a staggering 420km and climbing a total of over 4,000 meters!

 

Riders from Vietnam, New Zealand, Hong Kong and the UK along with cyclists from Momo, VNG, Ecomobi, Trusting Social, Genex, Chops, PMAX, Genetica, Velo Vietnam, the British and Swiss Embassy came together to raise funds and awareness to help improve the life chances of newborns across Newborns.

 

The final day was capped off with a wonderful ceremony at the Da Nang Women and Children’s Hospital along with a visit to the neonatal ward to see the fantastic doctors and nurses at work and to help our riders gain a better understanding of the obstacles they face on a daily basis.

 

A big thank you to our ride leaders and support team for keeping everybody safe, Premier Village Da Nang and the Hyatt Regency Resort & Spa for providing the delicious lunches and to the Da Nang Women and Children’s Hospital for their amazing hospitality and continuing hard work. Together we can end preventable newborns deaths in Vietnam.
