I'm Vincent Lo, an endurance athlete from Hong Kong.
On 24th of May, I'm running from Hanoi to Da Nang – 760 kilometers, with no transportation. No buses. No trains. Just me and the road.
This is Stage Two of The Heartbeat Tour – 100 marathons across Southeast Asia. But this stage is different. This time, I'm running for someone other than myself.
I'm running for the children Blue Dragon rescues from trafficking.
Why Blue Dragon?
I was born in Hong Kong – a more privileged city. I had opportunities to study, to move, to dream. Not every child gets that chance.
Blue Dragon gives children that chance. They rescue kids from slavery. They feed them. They put them in school. They give them a future.
I've followed their work for years. Their Running Club – where a six-year-old named Bình completed his first 5km and hugged his medal all the way home – that's what inspired me to turn my run into a fundraiser.
Here's the truth: life doesn't wait for perfect plans.
I originally planned 20 days for this run. A steady, sustainable pace. Then my job interview moved up to June 3.
Now I have 10-11 days.
That means running 70-75km per day instead of 35-40km. Nearly two marathons. Every day. In 40°C heat. Self-supported.
Is it possible? I don't know. But I made a promise to myself and to the children Blue Dragon serves. A promise is a promise.
I may not finish before my interview. But I will start. I will run as far as my body allows. And after the interview, I will return to that exact spot and continue until I reach Da Nang.
Because the children Blue Dragon serves don't get to postpone their suffering. They don't get to wait for perfect conditions.
So neither do I.
What your donation does:
Every kilometer I run brings me closer to Da Nang. Every dollar you give brings a child closer to home.
If I can do this, anyone can. And if you can give, please do.
Thank you for supporting Blue Dragon. Thank you for believing that every child deserves a future.

“It's Day 7 of running from Hanoi to Da Nang. I've met so many kind souls and received more love than I ever imagined along the way. Now it's my turn to give back. For the children. No matter what the ending is, I'm proud of what I'm doing. - Hôm nay là ngày thứ 7 chạy từ Hà Nội vào Đà Nẵng. Trên đường đi, tôi đã gặp rất nhiều tấm lòng tốt và nhận được nhiều yêu thương hơn tôi từng tưởng tượng. Đến lượt tôi cho đi. Vì những đứa trẻ. Dù kết thúc thế nào, tôi vẫn tự hào về những gì mình đang làm. 🫀”
