Congratulations to Peter Baines and the Hands Across the Water team for completing the ‘Run to Remember‘ event in Thailand and raising over AU $600,000!
The team ran 1400km from Yasothon Province to Takua Pa District, Phang Nga Province over 26 days and raised over AU $600,000 to support their activities to help disadvantaged youth and create opportunities for improving the lives of children in Thailand.
This event was held to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the tsunami disaster that struck southern Thailand in 2004. Peter Baines, a former Australian police officer, led the search team for victims of the tsunami and later established the organisation Hands Across the Water to provide assistance to Thai youth who lost their families in the incident.
In addition, on December 22, 2024, Hands Across The Water organised a charity run as part of the ‘Run to Remember’ event at Suan Rot Fai, with 350 runners participating.
