Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

As many of you know a devastating earthquake hit Haiti. Although there is as yet no accurate assessment of the death toll it is clear that millions of people live in the affected area. Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere, greatly increasing the risk that people will suffer or die in the aftermath of a natural disaster.

Communications have been severely disrupted and many roads are blocked with rubble. Despite the challenges, many DEC member agencies are already helping on the ground while others are preparing to do so. Very substantial humanitarian assistance will be required to ensure survivors get food, clean water, emergency shelter, medical care and other support.

To help the DEC provide the support needed, I have decided to do a 1.5 mile swim on 23rd April 2010. I would be very grateful for any donation towards my target.

 

Thanks for all your love and support
