Peter McCann is raising money for Foreign Aid Service, Order of Malta
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Land's End to John O'Groats · 19 June 2009

The Foreign Aid Service responds to international emergency situations, and helps desperately poor people with healthcare and income-generation activities. It operates in the framework of the Order of Malta, which provides international, co-ordinated response to suffering in the world through its 46 national associations and Aid Agency, Malteser International.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

This Summer I'm cycling around 900 miles from Land's End to John O'Groats to raise money for the education of children in Sudan.

In South Sudan decades of war have deprived generations of children of an education. Schooling is slowly becoming available again, but for most families the costs are simply too high. 

Through this fundraising we want to provide the opportunity for schooling for a number of children. The exact number depends on our success... 

By our standards the costs involved are not high. 50 pounds (60 euros) can pay for an entire year's school fees. 5 pounds would cover the cost of a months accommodation for a child who had to travel from a rural area to attend school in a town.

As you can see, any money donated will go a long way to furthering the 
education of children who otherwise may have no chance.
Thanks to everyone for donations and support, as I'm writing this I haven't 
actually ridden a bike on a main road, so this should be interesting

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me.

So please sponsor me now! Thank you.

Peter
 
 
RECENT NEWS:
MONEY RAISED WILL BE MATCHED AND DOUBLED!!

The Order of Malta, a charitable organisation, has generously agreed to match and then double whatever money I raise up to £1000. This means if I reach my aim of £500 I'll actually have £1500, which will enable more children to be reached and helped. This also means, for those of you who are skint, even if you can only sponsor me £2, I'll actually be receiving £6!
