TotallyOz Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 I have been researching different charity rides in various countries just for the fun of it. I ran across one in Thailand that I liked. It is called the Tour de Thailand. http://www.tourdethailand.com/ They are not a gay group but the money does go to charity. Has anyone heard of this group or ride? The charities listed are the Max Foundation and The Foundation for the Blind in Thailand. I have not heard of either but hope that others have and can give some information. Is the Foundation for the Bline part of the group that does the Blind Massage in Jomptien? Here is what I found out about the 2 groups. The Max Foundation is a U.S. Based 501 ©(3) Registered charity that helps people who suffer from Leukemia and other blood related cancers in over 72 countries worldwide. The donations are tax-deductible in the U.S. and the money raised through the Tour de Thailand benefits their branch here in Thailand. The Foundation for the Blind in Thailand under the Royal Patronage of Her Majesty the Queen is a registered charity here in Thailand that has centers around Thailand that teach the blind that are entering adulthood to take care of themselves and become productive members of society. They are taught skills to earn money and be completely self-sufficient in the future. They also have schools for the blind for the general education of children. Any information on the above is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote
