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

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I will be taking part in a charity cycle ride at the end of February 2010. The challenge is to cycle 470km from Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and finishing at Angkor Wat in Cambodia.

The money raised will support mine clearance programmes worldwide by the Mines Advisory Group (MAG). MAG is a neutral and impartial humanitarian organisation clearing the remnants of conflict for the benefit of local communities. Please see the video and photos on the left-hand side to see examples of MAG's work.

Alongside the beautiful scenery, inquisitive locals, ancient temples and a way of life far removed from that of our everyday lives, we will also have the opportunity to meet MAG staff in Cambodia - the people dedicating their lives to removing landmines.

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

I would be very grateful if you could sponsor me. I will be keeping you up to date about my grueling training regime, and the challenge itself through my facebook page, so keep in touch!
