Hi I'm Adithio and this summer, I will be solo cycling 100 miles from Hastings to Watford in honour of my beloved dog, Oscar, who passed away this year. Oscar wasn’t just a pet...he was my best friend, my greatest teacher, and the reason I found my passion for animal welfare. Because of him, I began working with and supporting BAWA (Bali Animal Welfare Association), an organisation dedicated to protecting Bali’s indigenous dogs and rescuing animals in need.

The ride will take 3 days (1st - 3rd August), taking my time to enjoy the journey, the changing landscapes, and the peaceful moments in nature...something Oscar taught me to cherish.

I will begin my journey at 'Oscar’s on the Square' in Hastings, a fitting tribute to the one who inspired this ride. Every mile I pedal will be for him, for my other beloved pets who have crossed the rainbow bridge, and for the countless animals who deserve kindness and care. My ride will end in Callowland Park, Watford, where Oscar and I shared so many happy moments together. It’s a place that holds my most precious memories of him, and it feels only right to finish this journey there.

Oscar taught me to slow down and appreciate the beauty of the world around me—the rustling trees, the open skies, the feeling of freedom. This ride is a chance to honour that lesson, to celebrate his life, and to help the animals who need it most.

100% of donations will go directly to BAWA to help them continue their vital work, protecting Bali’s indigenous dogs, rescuing animals in desperate need, help fund their incredible rabies control, sterilisation and education programs, and fighting against the dog meat trade.

Please donate whatever you can, for Oscar, for the dogs of Bali, and for all animals who deserve who deserve a life filled with compassion and care.
