Thanks for visiting my fundraising page - as you would know by now, in October I am off to Kenya for 2 weeks to work with the "Cricket Without Boundaries" organisation. In short, CWB is dedicated to using the game of cricket to develop underprivileged communities around the World (and more specifically, Africa), using the sport to help develop personal skills ranging from basic teamwork to self-discipline and leadership. Probably most importantly though, it is also about using the game of cricket as a tool in the fight against AIDS. CWB’s training sessions have at their heart a discussion about the disease both in terms of prevention and treatment. The charity also stands for equality of treatment for those with the disease, and children and adults regardless of their status are included in coaching, games and competitions. The base for doing all this is through visits to schools and orphanages, organising tournaments, providing of equipment and coaching clinics for adults. Since its establishment in 2005 the charity has coached/tutored over 4000 children and trained 250 new ICC coaches across Africa. If you want to know more, log on to www.cricketwithoutboundaries.com. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Cricket Without Boundaries Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
Any sponsorships would be appreciated!
