Fundraising for Make My Day Better
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On 13th September 2014 I'm doing this challenge with colleagues from DialAFlight. The Dartmoor Challenge is a two day event that requires us to carry a 30kg 'ShelterBox' up to 30 miles, as part of a race across the mixed terrain of Dartmoor National Park.
Your support will help us get round and raise money for a great charity. Here's a bit about what they do:
Every year thousands of communities, often with no warning, lose their homes, their possessions and their livelihoods. Every day they are faced with a battle for survival.
We provide emergency shelter and vital supplies to support communities around the world overwhelmed by disaster and humanitarian crisis.
Since we began in 2000, we have responded to earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, tsunamis, hurricanes, landslides, typhoons and conflict, delivering emergency humanitarian aid to communities in need.
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the Syria crisis, and the biggest storm to ever make landfall – Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines; we have responded to some of the largest humanitarian crises the modern world has ever known. Alongside this, we have also helped many thousands of people displaced by disasters that are not featured in the media. Simply put, if there are families in need of emergency shelter, we will do everything we can to help them.
