They will make the trip, called Honda67, on a 1960 SS50 Honda from April 10 to May 1.

The journey, which will wind through 15 provinces and cites, aims to raise US$400,000 for women and infants' healthcare programmes in two poor districts of Phu Ninh and Phuoc Son in the central province of Quang Nam.

Seton, who is general director of Besra company, says the programme targets to provide equipment for health clinics for young babies and pregnant mothers in the poorest mountainous districts.

He said the programme has already raised US$50,000 from donors around the world.

Seton, who has lived and worked in Vietnam since 1989, says he wants to help local poor people.

Members of Honda67 clubs nationwide will join the team at provincial stops to promote the programme.

The SS50 Honda, known as Honda67 in Vietnam, was revived by motorbike lovers in 2000.
