My story
If you had said to me 6 months ago that I would be entering a 100 mile bike ride, I would have thought you were nuts! However, as I am slightly nuts, that's exactly what I'm doing.
In 2007 Aileen and I went with a TearFund group to Malawi. In Blantyre we visited a school with 3000 kids. Aileen trained me up to do part of the eye screening process and she did the detailed tests. I was shocked by the number of eye conditions that were caused by poor diets and lack of vitamins.
The school had a project called Mary's Meals where school kids received a vital start to the day with a bowl of porridge. Families wouldn't have enough money to give their kids breakfast so they would often go to school hungry.
The Scottish charity Mary's Meals first began school feeding in 2002 and now they provide daily meals to 450,000 children, many who are orphans. To find out more read here: http://www.marysmeals.org.uk/a-global-campaign/malawi/
It only costs around £10 to feed a child for a whole year!
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.
