Story

On the 8th November I will be taking part in the 2nd Jordan Running Adventure Race.  The race is set over 120 miles, run in one stage from Petra across the Wadi Rum Desert and finishing at the Dead Sea.  All competitors are unsupported, carrying all their own food and equipment needed to complete the race in the 50 hour time limit.  To put the distance in perspective, if I ran 120 miles north out of London, I would end up roughly at Newark North Gate railway station!  I will be the first British (Yorkshireman) competitor to take part in the event.  

I am racing to raise money for two charities - FOAG and ZANE.  I have covered all my racing costs personally to ensure that all money raised will go directly to charity.

I would be very grateful for any support you are able to give.

Thanks

Jim

About the charity

Farmers Overseas Action Group - FOAG

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1164747
The Farmers Overseas Action Group, FOAG, is an independent charity whose mission is to aid social and economic development in Uganda’s rural communities. FOAG provides support to 12 projects in four key sectors; health, education, economic empowerment and the environment, with the overall goal of alleviating poverty. FOAG concentrates on small scale constructive action for community development through the funding of innovative projects that are often too small for the objectives of larger international charities. FOAG was founded in 1981 by a nucleus of Worcestershire farming families to practically address the needs of Uganda’s agricultural development. The core group has expanded over the years and is now supported by an ever increasing number of Associate Members and organisations. FOAG works in a direct and personal way and ensures that all projects are monitored on a regular basis. (www.foag.co.uk)
