Map Action Cycle Super Marathon · 23 June 2012

MapAction believes that applying geospatial expertise to humanitarian situations can greatly improve outcomes for the people affected. Global humanitarian needs outstrip resources. Expert geospatial and data analysis can help stretch those resources for maximum impact. Many professionals want to donate their energy and skills to help. MapAction is the bridge which enables them to do so effectively. We are a non-profit organisation that collaborates with partners around the world to help anticipate, prepare for and respond to humanitarian emergencies. We strive to ensure governments, regional and local disaster management agencies and humanitarian responders have access to the information and analysis that they need to make key decisions, at the right times, to save lives and alleviate suffering. We are a team of around 100 people, 75% of them expert volunteers, plus a small roster of standby consultants. Combining the passion of volunteerism with the rigour and reliability of professional standards, the ‘MapAction spirit’ is something we work hard to maintain and the willingness of our team to go the extra mile is often fed back to us.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.... but wait, linger a little longer and make a donation...

Why? Because...I'm meandering around the Chilterns, on a bike for a few days, in the hope of covering 170 or so miles...staying in bus shelters, and the odd barn (or hedge)... what could possibly go wrong.

Who am i doing this for? Well, MapAction is one of unsung charities that goes to where ever there is a humanitarian crisis, to ensure the reponses can be co-ordinated properly.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. So put down yer ipad, pen, cup of tean and dig deep and donate now.
