Sponsorship


It's been a while since my last post, but i am beginning to get very excited as the tour is about to begin in Cairo tomorrow. Somehow there have already been about 5 blog entries and 15 tweets and the tour hasn't even started yet! Check out: http://www.tourdafrique.com/epictours/tourdafrique/blog for any updates about the tour.

I have chosen two charities to raise sponsorship for, which both help to support people in Africa.
'WaterAid' is a global charity that provides clean water, sanitation and hygiene education to many countries around the world. Foremost, all the countries that I will be cycling through receive help from WaterAid. Therefore I feel it will be an extremely relevant cause to raise funds for. To sponsor me for 'WaterAid please follow this link: http://www.justgiving.com/jacobwarner/ (so far i have raised £190.00. To find out more about 'WaterAid' please visit: www.wateraid.org.uk

Secondly, I will also be raising funds for the 'Mark Towriss Bursary Fund'. This fund has been set up to help support the education of G.Ps in Kenya. This cause is very important due to the extreme lack of medical support on a local level in Kenya. Leaving a very small number of doctors to care for a very large number of people. Please visit: http://www.marktowrissbursary.com/ for more information about the charity.

If you would like to sponsor me for the 'Mark Towriss Bursary Fund' , please make cheques payable to AIM International and send to:

AIM International
c/o 2 High Sreet

Please ensure you indicate that the funds are for The Family Medicine Leadership Development Fund.

Thank you for any sponsorship that you can give...
