Raising money for

MAG (Mines Advisory Group)

Charity Registration No. 1083008

MAG (Mines Advisory Group) is a neutral and impartial humanitarian organisation clearing the remnants of conflict for the benefit of communities worldwide. MAG is co-laureate of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded for its work with the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), which culminated in the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty - the international agreement that bans antipersonnel landmines, sometimes referred to as the Ottawa Convention. MAG moves into current and former conflict zones to clear the remnants of those conflicts, enabling recovery and assisting the development of affected populations. MAG consults with local communities and works to lessen the threat of death and injury, while releasing reclaimed and safe land and other vital resources back to the local population, helping countries to rebuild and develop their social and economic potential. MAG has worked in around 35 countries since 1989 and currently has operations in Angola, Burundi, Cambodia, Chad, Cyprus, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Lao P.D.R., Lebanon, Republic of Congo, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan and Vietnam.

My story

Hello, my name is Pete Mounfield and I am cycling from Nordkapp, the most Northerly point in Europe, to Cape Town, South Africa.

I am doing this to raise money for MAG, Mines Advisory Group, who clear land mines.

I have encountered snow storms, frozen water bottles and cockroaches, but above all an abudance of kind strangers who have helped me along.

I would have given up on the idea of making it all the way to Cape Town long ago if it were not for the sponsorship that I am raising by completing the ride. I will keep on keeping on, and hope to raise as much as possible for MAG, to allow them to complete their vital work.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Mines Advisory Group 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.

So please sponsor me now!

Thank you.
