Mark In Africa for ActionAid
Part of Mission Malawi 3
16 motivated, committed and very energetic supporters took on Mission Malawi 3 in May 2008. They cycled along streets lined with smiling children, they trekked through the bush and they visited ActionAid's HIV/AIDS work and met the people whose lives they are transforming. This is the third Mission Malawi challenge and between the three challenges, they have raised an incredible £250,000 for ActionAid's HIV & AIDS work in Malawi, Zimbabwe and Mozambique.
For information on how you can get involved in the next challenge in 2010 email us.
Find out more about Mission Malawi 3
400km of cycling in Malawi and 100km of hiking in Mozambique raising money through sponsorship back home for those effected by HIV/AIDS in this part of Africa, visiting some of the orphanages and care centres en route who will benefit directly from the money raised.
My Message
Why am I doing Mission Malawi for Action Aid?
The feelings associated with sickness, loss, loneliness and fear are the same wherever you are in the world and we have all felt them at some point in our lives. Doesn't matter whether your sitting in your mansion or squatting in your mud hut the feelings our the same and its on this level that I believe we can relate to every other human being wherever they are and whatever their situation.
Not only does Mission Malawi give us the chance to raise some desperately needed money to help support some of the worlds most vulnerable in their fight against HIV/AIDS. But it also gives the chance for a group of us to actually show some of these people face to face, many of whom are children who's parents are dead and are themselves HIV+, that people care about them, which no child can get enough of.
Last year the expedition raised a total of £127,000 and it would be great to beat that this time around.
I am funding all the costs of the trip myself so all the money I raise through sponsorship will go directly to those who need it. Any donation is significant so my friends please just take a few minutes and support me in this. You can donate directly through this sight or email me mark@actorstemple.com or just call me 0777 567 5499.
Thanks for your help
Love to you all,
Mark
