May 2007

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

As part of my 'Early Retirement Plans', I started in October 2005 to walk the Pilgrim Path of St James from Le Puy to Santiago de Compostela. In five etapes I have already achieved almost half this  journey of almost 1000 miles.

I am aiming to raise £5000 towards the work of Link Community Development, an international Non-Governmental Organization. I have been involved with Link for several years and during that time have seen some of the amazing results that have already been achieved in many of its programmes in Africa, most recently in Malawi, in collaboration with local education departments, schools and their communities, the effect of Link's work is both far-reaching and sustainable. From teacher training to international school links, this work is currently having an impact on the lives of over half a million children.

If you would like more information about this project, please email me and I'll send you details of the sections and distances involved.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Link Community Development will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support. Frances
