Thanks for visiting my fundraising page!!!
The bike ride is done, but there is still a long way to go to hit the 5k.
In August this year I will be part of a team of people travelling from Milton Keynes to Cebu City, located in the South of the Philippines, to work with Mercy in Action.
Mercy in Action is a UK-based charity that runs projects across the Philippines rescuing and supporting street children and destitute families.
Children as young as 2 years old end up living on the streets for many reasons;
• abandonment due to poverty
• substance abuse or imprisonment of parents
• escape from the sex industry
• escape from abuse or sometimes even worse.
Mercy in Action runs projects that help to safely re-home and educate these children, giving them the future that every child deserves.
During our visit we will be involved in Mercy in Action's projects including;
• building native houses
• organising and funding feeding and clothing programs in the slums and rubbish dumps
• running activities for some of the city's street children.
Note that donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Mercy in Action will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Thanks so much for your support!
