Raising money for

MAG (Mines Advisory Group)

Charity Registration No. 1083008

MAG (Mines Advisory Group) is a neutral and impartial humanitarian organisation clearing the remnants of conflict for the benefit of communities worldwide. MAG is co-laureate of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded for its work with the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), which culminated in the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty - the international agreement that bans antipersonnel landmines, sometimes referred to as the Ottawa Convention. MAG moves into current and former conflict zones to clear the remnants of those conflicts, enabling recovery and assisting the development of affected populations. MAG consults with local communities and works to lessen the threat of death and injury, while releasing reclaimed and safe land and other vital resources back to the local population, helping countries to rebuild and develop their social and economic potential. MAG has worked in around 35 countries since 1989 and currently has operations in Angola, Burundi, Cambodia, Chad, Cyprus, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Lao P.D.R., Lebanon, Republic of Congo, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan and Vietnam.

My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

What I'm doing is a sponsored 'For One Day Only' Busking Tour of Cumbria, to raise funds for MAG as part of their Music Beats Mines festival. The idea is to play a 40 min set in each of a minimum of 5 market towns or tourist spots in the county, 95-100 miles round one way, then ending up in Cockermouth, which is where MAG started out before they moved to Manchester. Li'l bit of trivia for you, fact fans.

No exact date, but I'll be doing this on what looks the most likely for best driving weather and shopper traffic during the last two weeks in December. Probably one of the most fun ways to use annual leave ever.

There'll be photos & video taken through the day to show my exploits and these will go up on my blog, YouTube, Flickr & ElbowFans shortly afterwards.

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 please dig deep and donate.

Love,

Lorraine / Mrs Woman
