Raising money for

War Child

Charity Registration No. 1071659

War Child is an international child protection agency that works with the most marginalised children - child soldiers, street kids and children in prison - in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. War Child believes it is unacceptable that children continue to be victims of war. In the last decade alone 1.5 million children have died in wars. Four million have been disabled and a further 10 million traumatised. We provide vital, on the ground support programmes in each of the conflict zones we work in but also lobby politicians and governments to ensure our cause and the rights of children affected by war remains high on the public and political agendas. This approach allows us to ensure every pound we receive goes as far as possible - not only to the crucial projects in the field, but to ensuring children caught up in conflict, no matter where they may be, have a chance to be protected. We work where other agencies do not, reaching the most at risk children in the most dangerous war zones and your support means we can continue to do so. War Child looks forward to a world in which war is not prosecuted on children.

My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last year many of you donated generously when I grew a ridiculous moustache during Movember to raise money for Prostate Cancer (see picture!!). The Mo was a bit of a joke, so this year its far more serious - a 1000 mile (1600 km) bicycle ride from Land's End to John O'Groats!!

Certainly no laughing matter and an Achilles tendon injury for the last 2 months makes it much harder, so PLEASE, dig deep and give me that extra motivation to complete this epic task.

This is a picture of my son Kayan on Saturday celebrating his 3rd birthday. He was lucky and had lots of gifts and people spoil him all day. Not every child is so fortunate. Some grow up in the most horrendous conditions imaginable. Give a penny, a pound, whatever you can. If we can save even ONE child from war and violence it will be worth it.

Am starting ride on Sunday 2nd August and it will take me 13 days. Will be checking donations every day along my journey so believe me, you CAN make a difference because I will only accept the donation if I COMPLETE my journey.

Donations can be made here: www.justgiving.com/TimHusain
