Ride2Rescue is a fundraising cycling event that raises money for Destiny Rescue, a non-profit organisation that rescues children from sexual slavery. Over the last two years, Ride 2 Rescue has raised over $65,000 for two Destiny Rescue homes in Laos, for children who were being sold for sex in bars and brothels. It’s inside these homes where the lives of beautiful children – broken, battered and bruised at the hands of wicked men and women – are lovingly restored, revived and rejuvenated by Destiny Rescue staff and volunteers.

The children in Destiny Rescue’s care receive top quality counselling, medical assistance, education and vocational training opportunities to help them successfully reintegrate back into society when they complete the Aftercare Programme.

Over 100 girls currently live in the Laos rescue homes and each week, more girls are being rescued by Destiny Rescue staff. We want to raise funds to support these newly rescued girls and the girls currently living in the homes completing the Aftercare Programme. You can join us in helping these girls by either riding or sponsoring a rider! All sponsorship donations are fully tax deductible and 100% of the funds raised go directly to Destiny Rescue in Laos.

  2. How It Works

    If you would like to ride, sign up here! Then, share your fundraising page with family, friends and work colleagues to get sponsorship. If you'd also like to get cash donations see the post below on how to get a receipt book. All donations are fully tax deductible. The whole ride is on a designated bike path and is safe for riders of all ages and abilities. The ride starts and finishes at Pearce Reserve, Kings Langley. There will be different checkpoints along the path for first aid and refreshments and they will indicate when riders need to turn around. 
    • 25km riders   turn around near Richmond Road
    • 40km riders   turn around just after the M4 motorway
    • 60km riders   turn around just after Elizabeth Drive
    • 80km riders   go to the end of the bike path, then turn around.
