Ride for Hope, a 2,000-kilometer marathon charity ride across Southeast China organized by Shangri-La Group will pedal off on Saturday at Futian Shangri-La, Shenzhen.
The three-week ride through four provinces, 22 cities and 11 Shangri-La hotels will reach its end at Kerry Hotel Pudong, Shanghai on December 7. Six riders will do the whole journey. For the relay, a group of local riders organized by Shangri-La hotels in Shenzhen, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wenzhou, Suzhou and Shanghai will join in.
Event proceeds will go in part to the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, where around 20 families urgently need to build water cisterns. Money will also be used to fund Shenzhen Blue Ocean Conservation Association, an NGO devoted to ocean conservation and Will Foundation supporting abandoned kids.
