We are a married couple fundraising to support our continued involvement in international rabies prevention work with Mission Rabies, a global charity dedicated to eliminating rabies through mass dog vaccination and community education.
Rabies is a 100% preventable disease, yet it continues to claim tens of thousands of human lives each year, particularly in low-income countries. By vaccinating dogs – the primary carriers – Mission Rabies tackles the disease at its source.
This cause is deeply personal to us. In June last year, I tragically lost my mum to rabies. Following this loss, we committed ourselves to supporting rabies prevention efforts and volunteered on our first Mission Rabies trip to Cambodia in October 2025. Witnessing the impact of mass vaccination programmes first hand reinforced our determination to continue this vital work.
Sponsors partnering with us will be supporting a powerful, life-saving mission while demonstrating strong corporate social responsibility, compassion, and commitment to global health and animal welfare. We are proud to represent sponsors throughout our fundraising journey and during our work overseas.

• Adults aged 25–65

Other Info
This opportunity is rooted in both global impact and personal commitment. Following the loss of my mum to rabies in June last year, we dedicated ourselves to rabies prevention work and volunteered on our first Mission Rabies Cambodia deployment in October 2025.
Our continued involvement allows sponsors to support not only a proven disease-prevention programme, but also a deeply personal mission to ensure fewer families suffer the devastating consequences of rabies.
We are committed to transparency, gratitude, and sharing the real-world impact of every contribution.
