Borneo: The Ultimate Challenge
Fundraising for Barnardo's
Story
We're back safe and sound
Well the adventure seems a long time ago now and we are back to normality. So thanks to all of those that supported us both in spirit and in person. And thanks to all those wonderful people that helped us raise a great amount for Barnardos - it really is much appreciated by us and even more so by the children it will go towards helping. For those still wanting to donate there is still time (this page will close at the end of June).
Remember at least 80% of the funds raised will go to Barnardo's as we've donated the air-fares ourselves.
Did you know…
· 3.8 million children are living in poverty in today?
· Every year Barnardo's works with about 110,000 children (and their families) affected by poverty, homelessness, disability, bereavement and abuse?
· In 2006, £154.8 million was needed to continue Barnardo's work with children?
We decided to undertake 'Borneo: The Ultimate Challenge' in order to support Barnardo's. This challenge involved climbingMount Kinabalu and cycling a rump-numbing 170 km in extreme humidity through the foothills. Our target was to raise at least £9,000, now we want to make the magic £10,000!
Would you like to help?
· Donate through this site (by credit card for Charity to get the most money)
· Buy something, anything, on the web through buy.at/sarahandmorag
· Check out our blog at www.sarahandmorag.wordpress.com
Donating is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Barnardo's will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you, but then this is subject to transaction charges (see "Transaction Charges" link at bottom of page).
Many thanks for your support.
