Raising money for

Send a Cow

Charity Registration No. 299717

Send a Cow helps African farmers grow enough food to feed their families, sell their produce and develop small businesses that last.

We do this by providing training, livestock, seeds and ongoing support; and by helping families make the most of the land and resources they already have.

As a result, families are happier and healthier, children are educated, homes are improved.

In turn, these families then pass on young livestock, seeds or training to others. And so on. And so on. This ‘pass on’ principle not only builds stronger communities, it allows us to help even more people to develop skills, confidence and self respect.

The ‘can do will do’ attitude of Send a Cow is born out of our faming roots and our Christian faith. Working hand in hand with African farmers for over 20 years, we prove that farming in Africa works.

My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. Not quite sure why (we must be bonkers !), but I and a group of friends, are going to be attempting the UK Three Peaks Challenge on 11 - 12 July 2009. Thanks, by the way, to Tom's company Adjusting Solutions (www.adjustingsolutions.com) for covering some of our expenses for the trip.

For those that don't know, the 'Three Peaks' are Ben Nevis (Scotland), Scafell (the Lake District) and Snowdon (Wales), and the 'challenge' is to climb all three (starting with Ben Nevis and finishing with Snowdon) within 24 hours (including driving between them). The 'team' consists of 4 walkers (Tom, Helen, Nick and myself) and a driver (one of my brothers - Alex).

We have decided that we would like to use this opportunity to raise some money and we have each therefore chosen a charity to support; Tom and Nick have their own 'justgiving' pages, Alex's charity can be found at www.touchstone165.com, Helen is yet to choose hers, and mine is Send A Cow (have a look at their website (sendacow.org.uk) if you would like to find out a bit more about the fantastic things they do). I would love it if you felt able to sponsor me.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Send a Cow 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.

Thank you sooooooo much !

Love Kath XX
