Hayathlon · 2 September 2008

The Farmers Overseas Action Group, FOAG, is an independent charity whose mission is to aid social and economic development in Uganda’s rural communities. FOAG provides support to 12 projects in four key sectors; health, education, economic empowerment and the environment, with the overall goal of alleviating poverty. FOAG concentrates on small scale constructive action for community development through the funding of innovative projects that are often too small for the objectives of larger international charities. FOAG was founded in 1981 by a nucleus of Worcestershire farming families to practically address the needs of Uganda’s agricultural development. The core group has expanded over the years and is now supported by an ever increasing number of Associate Members and organisations. FOAG works in a direct and personal way and ensures that all projects are monitored on a regular basis. (www.foag.co.uk)

Story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

On 13 September 2008, Matthew, Richard and a number of friends (in teams of two) are proposing to run a half marathon over the Black Mountains in Wales, near Hay-on-Wye, followed by a canoe race down the River Wye, as part of the Hayathlon.

This foolish escapade is to raise money for Farmers Overseas Action Group, who do valuable charitable work in Uganda.

All we can say is that it is going to be painful...if you could put your hands in your pockets, that would be great!!
