From the 27th of September to the 9th of October, David and I plan to travel to Forte in Brazil, to help the village renovate and rebuild their dilapidated school and football pitch.
Forte is one of the poorest and most remote areas in Brazil with a population of 200 people. With your help, we hope to give the families of Forte a way to break out of this cycle of poverty and give them a chance to further their education locally, in their own village. This will allow the families to stay together, rather than being obliged to move away.
So why are we doing this? The answer's simple:
• To help raise the awareness of Bowel Cancer
• To give the local children and their parents the chance to continue their education so they too can work towards a better life
• Most importantly, every penny we raise will go towards research into
Bowel Cancer
44 people die every day in the UK alone from bowel cancer - it is the second highest cause of cancer death after lung cancer but is over 80% curable if caught early enough.
To be part of this, we have had to make a financial contribution, but we also need your help to raise our target of £8,000.
With no electricity, no home comforts, no showers and no hair straighteners (Dave)...just hard manual labour, this will be no 'lads holiday'.
Please dig deep and join us in supporting a fabulous cause! You can donate really easily by clicking on the 'sponsor us now' button below.
