Marathon man funds clean water project
Australian pat Farmer will run a marathon from the north to the south of Vietnam from December 9 to January 16.
The journey will begin from Mong Cai town in northern Vietnam then head south, running through Hanoi and HCM City, and finish in the southern province of Ca Mau.
Following the run, Farmer intends to jet ski along the Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta River from Ca Mau and will finish at Nha Rong Wharf in HCM City.
The main journey will cover about 80-85 km a day, completing about 3,000 km in 40 days.
Farmer will be accompanied by Vietnamese running partner Mai Nguyen Dinh Huy.
People are urged to support Farmer and help the Australian Red Cross raise US$275,000 for a clean water project.
