MAG (Mines Advisory Group)

Charity Registration No. 1083008

MAG (Mines Advisory Group) is a neutral and impartial humanitarian organisation clearing the remnants of conflict for the benefit of communities worldwide. MAG is co-laureate of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded for its work with the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), which culminated in the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty - the international agreement that bans antipersonnel landmines, sometimes referred to as the Ottawa Convention. MAG moves into current and former conflict zones to clear the remnants of those conflicts, enabling recovery and assisting the development of affected populations. MAG consults with local communities and works to lessen the threat of death and injury, while releasing reclaimed and safe land and other vital resources back to the local population, helping countries to rebuild and develop their social and economic potential. MAG has worked in around 35 countries since 1989 and currently has operations in Angola, Burundi, Cambodia, Chad, Cyprus, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Lao P.D.R., Lebanon, Republic of Congo, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan and Vietnam.

My story

Thank you for visiting my page!

In February 2010 I will be Cycling 460k over five days from Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam to Angkor Wat in Cambodia. All money raised wil go to the "Mines Advisary Group", one of the worlds leading landmine clearence organisations.

I'm not going to lie to you. I first decided to do this because it looked like great fun and a great chance for me to visit Vietnam and Cambodia.

Brilliantly, I discovered that MAG are also a great charity to be involved with. It really is a worthwhile cause and I'm proud to be supporting them is some small way. Have a read about MAG just over there to the left on this page.

I put £1500 as my fundraising target as this is this minimum amount i need to raise. It would be fantastic to achieve this sooner and be able to aim higher still!

All personal costs for this trip (including, flights, food, visas, accomodation etc) will be paid for by me. This means that all money donated by you goes straight to MAG to be used by them to help where they need it most.

Thanks very much for your donation!
