Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for the Silk Road Society (UK) at www.travelthesilkroad.org. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

One of the reasons for founding the Silk Road Society has been to support various projects in the countries that lie along the Silk Road. By helping the charities in these countries we hope to maintain the culture, tradition and heritage of the old Silk Road. We hope to support these charities in two ways: Firstly to provide financial assistance for their ongoing projects and secondly to provide connections for volunteers who wish to give their services to such charities. Having visited the Mercy Corps programmes myself I can vouch for the excellent work being carried out by Mercy Corps along the silk road. If you have any further enquiries please contact  Nick Rowan or visit the charities page at www.travelthesilkroad.org.

The Silk Road Society (UK) aims to raise awareness of the regions of Eastern Europe, Central Asia and China through which the ancient Silk Roads traversed.

The trade routes linking imperial Rome with remote China, known collectively as the Silk Roads, were once the greatest on earth. Many great men have undertaken travels along this intricate trade network and the Silk Roads have left an unparalleled imprint on the world's civilisations. Their history is a collection of golden tales in majestic cities and magical landscapes.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Mercy Corps Scotland 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.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
