Please help those that cannot help themselves in their hour of need.

Please help the thousands of children who have been orphaned.

Please help the thousands of displaced families.

Please help in any way you can.

We would welcome the help of friends, family, or anyone you know!

We have chosen the British Red Cross Earthquake Appeal as our charity appeal recipient as we feel they are one of a handful of charities with the experience and capabilities to send supplies to remote affected areas of a natural disaster very quickly funds permitting.

We are a group of 11 Lehman employees who came together and thought we should be doing more to help. Most have strong connections to the motherland.

To hasten our fundraising we will be running for charity within the Lehman contingent in the JPM Chase Corporate Challenge on the 9th of July 2008 in London, this might seem a trivial distance to most but believe you me 3.5miles is a long way to go if your legs are short, it will certainly feel like 7miles! We will be running and praying but happy in the knowledge we were doing it for good.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: British Red Cross 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. That a whopping 28% extra.
