MAG - Manchester RAG does LOST · 9 April 2011 ·

Every single day, 17 people are killed or injured because of landmines and other explosive weapons. Almost half of all civilian casualties are children. MAG finds and destroys these weapons to save lives and rebuild futures; helping people to grow crops, attend school and build homes.

We will be given a series of challenges to complete which is likely to involve stopping in different locations across the UK in order to gain extra points for our team. We will have to rely on our wit and intelligence to blag ourselves home.</span></span></p> <p><strong><span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">Who are Manchester RAG (Raise &amp; Give)?<br /></span></strong><span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">Manchester RAG is the fundraising arm of the University of Manchester.
