Hi Everyone,

Only a week today. We've had a great reponse. Thank you all sooooo much. We are having one final push this week to raise extra sponsorship so please dig deep to help children in Sierra Leone!!

If you would like us to sing a particular song (the more embarrassing the better!) then please add this to your comment when you donate.

A few of us are heading down to Minster beach now at midday on the 7th. You're welcome to join us if you want. We will be collecting donations on the beach and generally having a great time!

Here are the details of our challenge:

We love a good sing-song!! lalalala, oo ooo oo, shoop doop.

Tara, Mark & Raffy will be singing our way from Minster to Sheerness on May Bank Holiday Monday as part of the Compassion Africa Fundraising Challenge. It's not far, but we will look like idiots, singing our way along a crowded beach.

Please donate all you can to help Compassion Africa build a Children's Village in Sierra Leone for orphaned children. Sierra Leone is 2nd from bottom in the Human Development Index and the under 5 mortality rate is the highest in the world. It's not an exaggeration to say that these are possibly the most in need children in the whole world!!

If you fancy a day at the beach and want to join our singalongathon, then why not join us. All we ask is that you raise at least £100 sponsorship and sing really loudly on the journey. Email us at mark_d_rogers@hotmail.com if you want to come.

Please don't forget to tick the Gift Aid box as this means that Compassion Africa can claim tax back at no extra cost to you!

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.

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