Good evening everyone!
Just a wee update on how things are progressing with my fundraising and training! I have completed one sponsorship form at work and collected in the pledged money from my generous colleagues with the help of my colleague Mei-Mei :-) My friends and family have also continued to visit my Just Giving page which is great! My current total stands at £1281 and I am hopeful to get to £1300 by the end of the week! In addition I have been planning my next couple of events - Bagpacking on 4th May and a Quiz night in a local pub the end of May or beginning of June, exact date TBC.
My friends Laura, Tracy & Christine and my sister Ruth have kindly agreed to help me with the bag-packing and I have just ordered them T-shirts from WaterAid to wear on the day. If anyone else would like to volunteer, please get in touch, it would be a great help!
In the mail yesterday I received this letter below from the Community Fundraiser, Rebecca Dallison at WaterAid and brings home the reasons I have embarked on this challenge. Every penny counts and this letter highlights how donations really make a difference but we have a long way to go! "Without safe water or sanitation, people are trapped in a cycle of poverty and disease. Across the developing world, millions of women are wasting precious time collecting dirty water, children are dying from preventable diseases, and communities have open sewers running through them" (Source- WaterAid website). Around 700,000 children die every year from diarrhoea caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. Heartbreakingly, that's almost 2,000 children a day. This should not and must not continue, please help and sponsor me today: www.justgiving.com/trekforwater2013
