Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As you may know my big sister had an unfortunate insident on the no30 bus 7/7/05 this led her to find an amazing charity called the Mines Advisory Group. She fundraised to visit Cambodia and build houses for people who had fallen victim to landmines and lost limbs. As a result of my fundraising I get to go to Sheilds, not quite as far and but im sure the journey will be as epic. I dont even run for busses so this really is the challenge of a lifetime!

Im trying to train hard but sometime knitting gets the better of me! Motivate me with your money! There is no need for the world to be littered with explosives from past conflict. Lets get rid of them together :)

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.

About the charity

Every single day, 15 people are killed or injured because of landmines and other explosive weapons. Half of all civilian casualties are children. MAG finds and destroys these weapons to save lives and rebuild futures; helping people to grow crops, attend school and build homes.
