Raising money for

MAG (Mines Advisory Group)

Charity Registration No. 1083008

MAG (Mines Advisory Group) is a neutral and impartial humanitarian organisation clearing the remnants of conflict for the benefit of communities worldwide. MAG is co-laureate of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded for its work with the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), which culminated in the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty - the international agreement that bans antipersonnel landmines, sometimes referred to as the Ottawa Convention. MAG moves into current and former conflict zones to clear the remnants of those conflicts, enabling recovery and assisting the development of affected populations. MAG consults with local communities and works to lessen the threat of death and injury, while releasing reclaimed and safe land and other vital resources back to the local population, helping countries to rebuild and develop their social and economic potential. MAG has worked in around 35 countries since 1989 and currently has operations in Angola, Burundi, Cambodia, Chad, Cyprus, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Lao P.D.R., Lebanon, Republic of Congo, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan and Vietnam.

My story

http://tempuri.org/tempuri.html

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Mines Advisory Group 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.

So please sponsor me now! For those of you who know me you'll know that I have been living and working in Cambodia,S.E. Asia for the last 3 years. I have come to realize that so many issues are starved of the oxygen of publicity and that now, more than ever NGO's,charities and various worthwhile bodies need our help now. Having run the London Marathon in 2002 and decided,with my GP's advice,that my knees are up to it,I thought that this would be a great opportunity to travel up to Toonland and take part in the world's greatest half marathon. Visit www.maginternational.org and read about this fantastic organization,check out the Youtube link below and while you are there view the MAG:Women against mines video or have a look at the photos on Flickr. Remember........ don't forget to tick the Gift Aid box!! Thanks in advance, Dave x
