Three Peaks 24 hour Challenge · 5 September 2009

Concern Worldwide is an international humanitarian organisation dedicated to reducing suffering and ending extreme poverty. Since the beginning, over 40 years ago, our focus has been on improving the lives of the poorest people. To achieve our mission we work in developing countries where our programmes comprise both long term development work and responses to emergency situations. We also seek to address the root causes of poverty through our advocacy and development education work. Concern Worldwide works in 28 of the poorest countries around the world. Last year alone, we worked directly with ten million people to find long-term solutions to extreme poverty. Concern focuses on five key programme areas: Emergency Response, Health and Nurtition, HIV/AIDS, Livelihood Security and Education. We work directly with poor communities, asking them what would be the greatest long term improvements to their lives.

Story

Hello hello and thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In a nutshell I have agreed to do the Three Peaks 24 Hour Challenge... with only two weeks to prepare. I am terrified. It could be messy. I could get carted off Snowden on a rescue chopper. Or I could be gleefully sipping on a beer at the end of the 24 hours (of hell!) Who knows how it will work out? Lets just hope I don't do myself any permanent damage.

My chosen charity is Concern Worldwide. They do great work in tackling poverty on an international level and I have supported them for the last year. No donation is too small so thank you for getting behind this charity.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thank you and I look forward to telling you how I get on!
