Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm Beth, a Loughborough University student taking part in a charity event called 'Escape and Evade'.

The idea of the event is to get as far away from Loughborough and back again for free in 72 hours.  As a team of four we are hoping to raise £800 in sponsorship as a team for Practical Action.  They are an international development charity working all around the world using technology to overcome poverty.

"We are Practical Action a development charity with a difference. We know the simplest ideas can have the most profound, life-changing effect on poor people across the world. 

Our unique approach to development – doesn’t start with technology, but with people. The tools may be simple or sophisticated – but to provide long-term, appropriate and practical answers, they must be firmly in the hands of local people: people who shape technology and control it for themselves." 

Loughborough Students Rag is the best student fundraising organisation in the country, proven as last year we raised £1,042,125.53 for local and national charities.

All we are asking from you is to help us raise money for charity.  The current record is Trinidad and Tobago, please help us beat the record and get as far as possible by showing your support!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you!!

Beth
