Raising money for

SOS Children's Villages UK

Charity Registration No. 1069204

For nearly 60 years, SOS Children has built communities around the world for children who have no one to turn to. By providing a home and a new mother in a purpose-built local Village, thousands of orphaned and abandoned children have been given a loving and secure family for life.

SOS Children also plays an important role in supporting the development of local communities by building and running nursery, primary and secondary schools; vocational training centres and medical centres, all of which are open to the children in our care and to those from the wider community. Where possible, we want to prevent child abandonment, so we offer skills, training, education, counselling and micro-loans to vulnerable families so can they can provide for their children in the long-term. SOS Children also provides emergency relief in situations of crisis and disaster.

Today, we care for more than 78,000 children in 490 unique SOS Children's Villages in 124 countries worldwide, and also support a further one million children and families in local communities.

My story

Thank you for visiting the Expedition Equus fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor online!

Trailblazing a ride that is the first of it's kind; I shall be riding on horseback through Europe, the Causcaus and Asia. The ride will span 2 continents, 15 countries and 15,000 km. I will be the first women in history to undertake this massive journey.

The ultimate motivation for our expedition is not only to fulfil a lifelong ambition but also to raise awareness and promote SOS Children, about whose work I have deep empathy and passions.
I will encourage eco tourism and by using horses and camels as my chosen mode of transport I will reduce my carbon footprint. Through teaching local children I hope to give something back to the communities I encounter en route.

There is also a historical aspect to this trip, as I will be following the footsteps of traders along the ancient routes; the Silk Road. By undertaking the journey on horses and camels I will stay true to those who would have travelled the same route all those centuries ago.

If you would like to know more about my adventure, check out my website at www.expeditionequus.com

I aim to raise £15,000 - thats £1 for every mile I travel. Help me to reach my goal by donating through my justgiving page.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me. SOS Children's Villages 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

Please sponsor me now.

I look forward to your support.
