Cycling the South Downs Way · 22 August 2009

We offer advice, resources and services to Quaker meetings. We work to build public awareness of who Quakers are and of the things that matter to us. We act on Quaker concerns at home and abroad, helping to change our world for the better by promoting peace, justice, equality and sustainability.

Story

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page.

On 22 and 23 August, a group of us will be cycling along the South Downs Way - that's 100 miles in just two days. We're each raising money for a different charity, and my choice is the Quaker Peaceworkers Appeal.

Each year, Quakers recruit and train people who are new to the peace movement to go and work with different peace organisations around the world. These placements are funded by Quakers. They provide new opportunities for people to enter the peace movement; they boost the capability of other, often smaller, peace organisations by giving them an extra pair of hands; and they strengthen the peace movement by building relationships and sharing inspiration among different peace groups. They sow seeds for the future of the peace movement.

This is my first sponsored event. I cycle to work, so this seems a good challenge! Please sponsor me in aid of Quaker Peaceworkers - it will be an encouragement to me, and an opportunity for us to sow seeds for the future!

Thank you.
