Amputee To Cycle Across Cambodia

LANDMINE amputee, Chris Moon MBE, is planning to cycle Cambodia to raise funds for a Thame-based charity.
Chris, who lost an arm and a leg while clearing landmines in Mozambique, is setting off to cycle across Cambodia on August 31, hoping to raise thousands of pounds in support of Thame charity, the Cambodia Trust.
Chris’s fundraising will help the Trust to provide artificial limbs for Cambodian landmine survivors. He explained: “In 1993 I was clearing landmines for a charity in Cambodia and I saw the terrible circumstances in which Cambodian, disabled people
struggled to survive.
“In 1995 I learned the importance of artificial limbs when I lost my lower right arm and leg walking in a supposedly clear area in a minefield in Mozambique.”

Chris Moon has undertaken a number of extreme challenges to raise funds for the Cambodia Trust, including a 300-mile run across Death Valley.
“I?ve witnessed the work of the Cambodia Trust first hand for more than ten years. It?s a very worthy organisation doing excellent work,? he says.
