Riding Beyond Limits – innerScape 2027 for Children of Vietnam
JOIN US: LET’S TURN EVERY KILOMETER INTO A REAL OPPORTUNITY.
In March 2027, participants in innerScape -Asia’s longest self-supported ultra-cycling race- will take on an epic journey of 4,128 kilometers from North to South Vietnam. Each of us will face fatigue, mountains, weather adversities, and endless miles. But this time, the challenge goes far beyond a personal finish line: our goal is to translate every single kilometer into tangible support.
This campaign has deep roots in my personal life and family history. It is a tribute to the lifelong dedication and good works my mother carried out for individuals with disabilities through her association, Associazione Vita onlus. Disability and inclusive sport are part of our everyday life: my sister is a Paralympic boccia athlete, and our family runs a dedicated sports team and association (A.S.D.). Furthermore, as a person with a hearing disability—living with severe bilateral hearing loss (an 80% hearing loss acquired in adulthood) and relying on hearing aids—I intimately know what it means to face physical and sensory barriers. This journey is our way of giving a voice and a future to those who need it most.
All funds raised will support Children of Vietnam and their Hope System of Care program, a vital initiative providing medical aid, physical therapy, inclusive education, and support to families raising children with disabilities, often compounded by the long-term historical legacy of the war (such as Agent Orange exposure).
The Heart of the Challenge & The Da Nang Stop: Our initial target is simple: €1 for every kilometer of the route (4,128 km = €4,128). Even more, after riding roughly 2,000 kilometers, I will stop directly at the Children of Vietnam office in Da Nang. This will be a meaningful moment to deliver a symbolic check, meet the team on the ground, and share live photos and updates to show you the direct impact of your generosity and fuel the campaign right in the middle of the race!
Whether you are an athlete on the starting line, an event organizer, a cycling enthusiast, or a supporter cheering from afar, you can make a difference. Share this page, donate, or dedicate a kilometer of your passion.
Together, let’s ride for something much bigger.
