The Cycling Silk expedition promises to be a grand adventure, but we are transforming the experience into something more meaningful by fundraising for the Kham Aid Foundation , a non-profit organization devoted to "helping the people of the eastern Tibetan plateau". Kham Aid supports a variety of projects in the Kham region of China, including medical care and environmental work, but the main focus of the organization is educating young children.

As students ourselves, we fully appreciate the empowering force of education, and we are committed to doing all we can to provide the same basic schooling oppportunities we have been so fortunate to receive to other young people. Please join us in supporting communities along the modern silk road by donating money to this expedition fundraiser. 100% of donated funds will go directly to Kham Aid. Donations from the USA are tax deductible.

Donations can be made online with a credit card here:
