Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We, the Blacks, Duncan (Dad), Ross and Katrine, are cycling from Land's End to John O'Groats in aid of the charity 'Friends of Mengo Hospital UK', a small British charity whose aim is to partner with Mengo Hospital in Kampala, Uganda, East Africa. Mengo Hospital was the first hospital in East Africa, built in 1897 by Sir Albert Cook. Duncan Black was born there, a long long time ago.

The charity, Friends of Mengo, is entirely run by volunteers and employ no permanent staff so we can assure you that every penny you donate goes directly to improve Mengo Hospital.

• Ongoing funds to supplement nurses diets

• Funding malaria treatment for children in the children’s ward
• Providing numerous items of essential equipment, both small and large
