Story
Greetings!!
Thanks for taking the time to visit my justgiving page.
Something I really want to do before Christmas this year is to raise money for a charitable organisation. I chose to support a relief aid organisation called Medair.
The Cause
Medair responds to natural disasters, conflicts that uproot communities, and crises such as drought or disease. They specialise in emergency relief, responding rapidly to save lives in a crisis and rehabilitating vulnerable communities in the wake of a crisis.
They currently have programmes in Afghanistan, D.R. Congo, Madagascar, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda. As well as international aid workers, they employ a large number of nationals from within the country they are working.
The Challenge
According to the body mass index, I have been classified as overweight, and border-line obese. Yes, who would have believed it? I had to double check the chart I was reading, weigh myself again and compare it against another chart. The results were astonishing.
By Christmas this year, I aim to reclassify my position on the BMI chart by losing around a stone/14lbs. Please see the chart for more details (link to photos on the left). Should be simple?!
Please give generously to this charity giftaiding your donation if you pay tax - every penny helps, and I will update you as to my progress.
thanks so much,
Jon-man
