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.

My story

Dear all,

I'm running the Great North Run half-marathon in a few weeks time, in support of a charity called Mercy Ships (http://www.mercyships.org/ ).

You can find out more details on their important work on their website; they provide basic, essential healthcare to some of the most deprived people in the world.

I was supposed to run for them last year, but had to defer my entry after breaking my collarbone, so this year I've tried to make up by training hard - and cycling much more carefully ;)

Please give generously!

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.
