Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. :)
I'm walking the length of Hadrian's Wall (72 miles) over a week with friends and I thought this would be a good way to raise money and also make everyone aware of the amazing work Reaching the Unreached do.
The walk is:
Day 1 Wallsend to Newburn 11m 18k
Day 2 Newburn to Corbridge 14m 23k
Day 3 Corbridge to Humshaugh 6m 9k
Day 4 Humshaugh to Twice Brewed 13m 21k
Day 5 Rest day
Day 6 Twice Brewed to Banks 14m 23k
Day 7 Banks to Carlisle 14m 23k
Day 8 Leave Carlisle after breakfast, head back to Wallsend to get the car.
As part of a team working challenge with my company, The Open Group (http://www.opengroup.org/), we have been encouraged to work together to do something for charity.
After much research my team decided to support "Reaching the Unreached" (http://www.rtu.org.uk/) because we want to help children in India.
Please dig deep and help us raise raise some money!
Reaching the Unreached is a grassroots charity, specialising in helping particularly vulnerable & marginalised people, especially women & children in Southern India.
"There are currently four Children's Villages for orphaned and destitute
children, who are welcomed regardless of their background or creed. The villages provide them with a new and permanent home, and we bring them up to prepare them for an independent life. There are altogether over 70 families with from 6 to 8 boys and girls, and their 'mothers' who are typically widows or deserted women."
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
