Thank you for visiting our Kindrochit Quadrathlon fundraising page.
This year there are 4 new additions to the team - Dylan, Mat, Peter & Steven - do they realise what they are letting themselves in for??!!

We realise that times are pretty hard at the moment, but please dig deep for a very worthwhile cause for what is a massive challenge for the whole team.

Your donations this year will support Mercy Corps - the official charity of the Quadrathlon - in their work to help relieve poverty across the globe: http://www.mercycorps.org.uk/ – current projects include:

· Global food crisis response across two continents in five countries - Central African Republic (CAR), Nepal, Niger, Somalia & Sri Lanka.

· Projects in Gaza which will improve living conditions and provide emotional help for children, youths and adults to cope with the crisis.

· Medical aid to areas devastated by earthquakes and floods e.g. Pakistan & Honduras.

· Providing clean, fresh water for displaced families in war torn eastern Congo.

· Aid to the very poor tea estate workers of India.

Technical stuff: Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is

also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Mercy Corps 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.

Many thanks for your support.
