My Message
I am participating in the Mission Malawi 4 cycle ride for Action Aid in May, and have a target of £3200 to raise. I have to raise this by April 4th!
There are two big big upsides in supporting me on this mission....
1) It is quite possible that I may die! even if I survive I will certainly suffer a great deal which will bring a smile to the faces of many of you reading this!
2) We all lead a relatively privileged life, and in supporting me, your donation really will make a massively positive difference to many peoples lives.
Please have a think about this when you are deciding if, or how much to donate, and please dig as deep as you can...
For those of you supporting me; I will always be grateful to you - for those who are hesitant; better buy some good karma - it never goes amiss!!!
Seriously though, I want to than everyone who does support me and will get back to you all individually on my return... many many thanks for your generosity.
Nick
