With just over a week to go in our charity auction for charity partner Cycle a Difference/Newborns Vietnam, the great news is that we have added loads more items to the auction with some more donations from people in the cycling industry.

Almost £1,000 has been raised to date for Cycle a Difference/Newborns Vietnam through live auctions at the London Bike Show but the aim is to increase that to over £10,000 via the online auction and a raffle.

Alongside the star attraction of the charity auction, a fantastic two person 10-day holiday in Vietnam, we now have 12 items available on the Cycle a Difference/Newborns Vietnam charity auction webstore.

The Holiday

The two person 10-day holiday is a fully escorted tour of Vietnam plus one night at the Furama Resort in Danang for two people. The nine nights 10 day holiday package includes all accommodation and meals paid for. More details on the holiday can be found here.

The 10-day holiday is valid to be taken up over a 12 month period but not over Christmas. Please also note that the voucher for the one night stay in the Furama Resort is only valid up to June 30, 2012. Flights to and from Vietnam are not included in the package.
