The morning started well as the weather was much cooler than earlier in the week, so we had a feeling that the day would go well! I was blown away by how stunning the countryside is here in Cambodia.

“I’ve also been to the charity, Temple Garden Foundation, in Siem Reap with my family. Having seen first hand all the amazing work that TGF does amongst the communities, I consider myself very fortunate to be able to help in some way or another – that was all the motivation I needed.”

Speaking With: Mark Ferguson, Runner & Founder of Cambodia Run

“Rural villagers in Cambodia want the same as everyone else living in developed countries – and this really struck me. They just want to be happy, financially stable, and to be able to offer health, education and opportunities to their children.”
