Hi!

I would love you to help me support and raise money for War Child UK, a charity I have had the privilege of being involved with for some years.

War Child is striving for a world in which no child's life is torn apart by war. The charity protects, educates and stands up for the rights of children living in war zones. In 2019 I visited the Yazidi refugee camp in Duhok, Iraq, to see War Child's impressive work in action. There - and wherever there is conflict around the globe - War Child offers essential help to children, and respite from the extraordinary challenges of their lives.

For my part, I aim to raise funds for the charity by making a coast-to-coast traverse of Costa Rica. From the 13th to 22nd April I will be joining five friends - James, Lloyd, Jeremy, Kit, and Mark, to paddle, bike, trek and raft from the Caribbean coast to the Pacific coast in one the most beautiful and ecologically diverse countries on earth.

By making a donation, you will be making a difference to thousands of children whose lives have been turned upside-down by conflict. You’ll help War Child provide the emergency care and support they need to overcome the emotional and physical toll of conflict, as well as access to services to catch up on lost education that will help to transform their futures for the better.

Thank you!

Ben
