MORE ABOUT THE WALK... To celebrate the wonderful summer weather, the beautiful English countryside and our good healths, a small group of us are going to do a 20-mile (32 km) sponsored walk on Wednesday 23rd July. To help others less fortunate than ourselves, we are raising money for Medical Aid and Relief for the Children of Chechnya (MARCCH) through our efforts. MARCCH is a dedicated charity with close links with organisations and individuals in Chechnya. They work tirelessly to bring aid and medical relief to the most needy Chechens - in and around Chechnya. With the help of their donors, MARCCH have, so far, been able to: - Provide vital medical equipment and medicines to the main children's hospital in Grozny. - Deliver 300,000 syringes for TB testing to the Chechen health authorities; TB is rife in Chechnya. - Help individuals who otherwise might have been deprived of essential medical treatment such as the mentally or physically handicapped children. - Provide children with prosthetic limbs who lost their arms or legs in the war. - Help an orphanage for Chechen refugees in the neighbouring republic of Ingushetia with rent, food and clothing. - Provide every child in the children's hospital in Grozny who needs it with an oxygenator. Currently, MARCCH are looking into building a new wing in the children's hospital in Grozny to allow mothers to stay with their children. Today, in Chechnya, women travel long distances every day to visit and be with their children. Together we hope to raise £1000 for this and other on-going MARCCH projects iA. Read more about MARCCH @ www.marcch.org They are very worthy of all the help we can give them iA. So please dig deep, sponsor us and encourage others to do so. Every penny raised will go directly to children in dire need of medical help. This is a guarantee from MARCCH. HOW TO SPONSOR US: 1. Donate online at: http://www.marcch.org/donations.html 2. Post a cheque, payable to MARCCH, to: MARCCH, PO Box 22982, London N10 3EZ 3. Give me the cash/ cheque when you see me (only for those who see me often) and I will pass it on. It would help us to guage whether we are reaching our target of £1000 if you would inform us of your donation. However, this is not essential and we respect anyone's wish to remain anonymous. THE ROUTE: We'll be walking from Slough to Moulsham Green along the Three Castles Path - through Windsor Great Park, Swinley Park, Windsor Forest and Blackwater Valley. We'd like to encourage you to enjoy the sunshine, celebrate the beautiful countryside and engage in healthy activity. With this in mind, if you would like to join us for all or part of the way, please do not feel shy to do so. You will be most welcome. FINALLY... Please pray for us - that we are successful in our efforts and that Allah (swt) accepts our efforts. Jzk & Ws, Hajira Qureshi :)
