The Mad Foundation helps people in some of the world's poorest countries to help themselves, by working at a grassroots level to develop much needed sustainable community resources. Their objective is to advance education and alleviate poverty in any part of the world. They have helped build and renovate hundreds of schools, built orphanages, clinics, workshops, water and sanitation systems, helped kids with educational scholarships and helped provide sports and health resources throughout Africa, South America, and South East Asia. Money raised for the Mad Foundation will always be used on appropriate projects with the most immediate need.

My story

If I reach my target, I'll run in a bikini!! Come on sponsor me!!!

See more of what Madventurer get up to at www.madventurer.com

I have climbed 14782 meters (that's 44346ft!) in total this year between summiting Kilimanjaro, Mt Meru and Mt Elgon. To top it off I want to fulfill a life long ambition to run the Great North Run on the 30th September. At the moment I'm training by running around about 20 miles a week and I'm feeling in pretty good shape.

I love climbing and running and I want to raise more money for a place that has given me alot. I have had an amazing time building in East Africa and I want to make sure that others can continue the work I have done.

So please give what you can and I will do what I can to finish the Great North Run in some manner that doesn't leave me appearing to have just staggered home after a few too many pints!

I am considering running in a bikini, typically for a Finn and a Madventurer, not a shy bairn but will only do it if I have £1000 raised by the 30th!!
