Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am cycling from the west to east coast across the mountainous terrain of Sri Lanka with a small group of other mad people.  MAG is a charity which has been operating for many years in 80 countries and raises money to clear landmines in former war-torn countries around the world to enable local people to live and farm in their communities.  Every year 3300 people die as a result of landmines of whom 1000 are children so the more money we raise, the more people can live safely.


About the charity

Every single day, 15 people are killed or injured because of landmines and other explosive weapons. Half of all civilian casualties are children. MAG finds and destroys these weapons to save lives and rebuild futures; helping people to grow crops, attend school and build homes.
