Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I am competing in the Kinabalu Challenge from 22-31 January 2010 in Borneo to raise funds for the Youth Development Charity Raleigh International. The Kinabalu Challenge is a 9 day adventure race in the heart of the jungles of Borneo. It combines running, biking, rafting and survival in the jungle, abseiling and trekking, culminating in a dawn summit of Mt.Kinabalu at 4,100m above sea level.

On 14-15 December Mike and 6 Friends form the Musikscool team undertook a unique fundraising challenge. In the space of 24hrs we wrote, recorded and produced a CD of insirational music that reflects the important work of Raleigh. The songs were crafted as a team, and required huge levels of commitment from all. We had a fantastic 24hrs and we are all very proud of the music we created!

To purchase a copy of the CD we are asking for a minimum donation of GBP10.00 please ensure that you email mike@makingthelink.co.uk with your full postal address so we can post it to you direct! 

Raleigh International celebrate their 25th anniversary of running global expeditions that enable young people to have a positive impact in a developing country. Projects range from Environmental, Community, Scientific and Adventure projects that have real benefits to the host countries.
