Swimathon for Burma Cyclone victims · 16 May 2008

At times of overseas emergency, the DEC brings together a unique alliance of the UK's aid, corporate, public and broadcasting sectors to rally the nation's compassion, and ensure that funds raised go to DEC agencies best placed to deliver effective and timely relief to people most in need.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. Im over half way  now - i've swum 600 lengths and I've only got 400 to go!!

In total I am swimming 25 kilometres - thats 1000 lengths!!!

Please sponsor me a penny a length - thats just £10 for the whole lot!!

According to official figures over 60 thousand people have died and 1 and half million people are homeless. They are having to drink from the same water in which dead corpses are floating and people are having to deficate.

The victims need shelter, food and water sanitisation kits.

The DEC is co-ordinating an emergency appeal to fund work across the region - providing cash support, health care and vital equipment.

Sponsoring Tooss will help aid workers in Burma respond to immediate needs as well as help people recover after the Cyclone.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Disasters Emergency Committee gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
