London Marathon 2005: Ed Davey seeks sponsorship
A friend of this site,
Ed Davey is running in this years
London Marathon and looking for sponsorship which will go to
Médecins Sans Frontières, The
Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign and
The (Tibetan) Hope Centre.
1)
Médecins Sans Frontières are at the forefront of the humanitarian response in the
Democratic Republic of Congo and in
Sudan at the moment.
2) The
Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign /
The Oxford - León Link. Ed has been actively involved with these two charities since visiting Nicaragua in 2000; they are as always very short of funds, and it is thanks to NSC that he is running the Marathon again, as they had a spare charity place for the run.
3)
The Hope Centre (translated from the Tibetan), Lhasa, Tibet. One of Ed's very best Tibetan students from India, Sonam Dolma, is now working as a trainee doctor with a small medical centre for Lhasa's poor and homeless people. She is Ed's guarantee that every penny of your donation would go directly towards the centre's work. Ed will send money to her via Western Union, and pay for the cost of that himself.
*************************************************
Ed proposes that
50% of your donation goes to MSF,
30% to NSC and
20% to the Hope Centre. However, as last year, the choice is of course up to you, and you are very welcome to specify what percentage of your donation you would like to go to which charity. Last year Ed and his brother raised £4300 - is £5000 too ambitious a target this year?!
Contact Ed directly if you would like to sponsor him. His email address is:
edward.davey@brasenose-oxford.com66 Tennyson Street,
London SW8 3SU.
