Congratulations to Peter Baines and the Hands Across the Water team on the successful completion of the “Run to Remember” event in Thailand and on raising over 600,000 Australian dollars!

The team covered 1400 km in 26 days from Yasothon province to Takua Pa district in Phang Nga province, raising over 600,000 Australian dollars to support its activities to help disadvantaged youth and create opportunities to improve the lives of children in Thailand.

This event was held to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 2004 tsunami disaster that struck southern Thailand. Peter Baines, a former Australian police officer, led the search team for tsunami victims and later founded the organization Hands Across the Water to help Thai youth who lost their families in the disaster.

In addition, on December 22, 2024, Hands Across The Water organized a charity run as part of the “Run to Remember” event in Suan Rot Fai, which was attended by 350 runners.
