Raising money for

Mercy Ships

Charity Registration No. 1053055 Scotland (SC039743)

Mercy Ships is an international charity that provides free medical and humanitarian services to the people of Africa using its hospital ship, the Africa Mercy. In the developing world, lack of access to basic health care can have horrific results. Mercy Ships freely provides relief to the forgotten poor - saving lives, improving quality of life and restoring hope.

The Africa Mercy is the world's largest non-governmental hospital ship - staffed with volunteer doctors, nurses, engineers and agriculturists - that visits ports in some of the world's poorest countries. Doctors, surgeons and nurses onboard provide free medical and surgical services, while off ship teams help local communities develop sustainable water, sanitation and education programmes.

For further information on Mercy Ships please visit www.mercyships.org.uk or call 01438 727800.

My story

Hello from sunny Liberia (the rainy season has just ended!).

Having completed the 295 runs at the MK SNO!zone (the equivalent height of Everest) I am now out on the Africa Mercy. Your donations make it possible for this amazing ship to do its amazing work.

Thank you so much for your support.

If you are new to this page, read on (it's not too late to donate!)................

Sponsored swim – been there….
Sponsored walk – done that….
Sponsored ‘Snowboard Down Everest’ – great T-shirt !!!
Well OK not down the real Everest, but the equivalent height (8850m) at the SNO!zone (indoor real snow slope) in Milton Keynes. Just the 295 runs then! Should keep me busy for a couple of days - 22nd/23rd August to be precise.
I simply have 3 aims for my sponsored snowboarding challenge:
1. To make you interested in ‘Mercy Ships’ and the amazing work they do. Check out the video on the left - it says more about the work than I could ever do. And visit them at www.mercyships.org.uk.
2. Raise money for them. There’s always a catch isn’t there! But did you know, ALL the crew on the ship pay their own way? So imagine how much of your money is going directly to the patients that need it!
3. Not break anything!
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Mercy Ships will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Thank you so much for your support.
Neil
