How are you going to make a difference in 2008?

Africa Now is looking for enthusiastic people who want a challenge. Whatever your experience or fitness level, we have something for everyone.

The Mazda London Triathlon

9/10th August 2008
Registration: £50 (plus minimum sponsorship)
Swim, cycle and run through the capital in one of the UK's most prestigious challenge events. Anyone can get involved, as an individual or as a team, with distance options to suit all abilities.

The British 10k London Run

6th July 2008
Registration: £30 (plus minimum sponsorship)
The eighth annual Run will be the biggest and best ever, with tens of thousands of runners. The event has been sold out for the last three years, so enter now to avoid disappointment.

Skydiving

All year round
Registration: free (minimum sponsorship from £360)
Once you've tried skydiving or parachuting, you will never forget the thrill and incredible rush of your first jump. Perhaps you have a significant birthday or anniversary approaching, or just want to do something different? If so, why not join us!

Sign-up today and we will provide you with all the support you need, including a t-shirt, goody-bag and sponsorship forms. Our places are strictly limited and are available on a first come, first served basis.

You'll be surprised how easy it is to achieve your fundraising target, and your employer may even offer a match-funding scheme. Every penny raised will support the work of Africa Now, tackling poverty by assisting small-scale producers, and promoting ethical trade.

If running is not your idea of fun, there is a world of opportunities out there to get involved in; the London to Paris Cycle Ride, climbing Kilimanjaro, trekking the Great Wall of China... And that's just for starters!

Please contact Kim Guard at the Africa Now office or call 01865 403265 for more information and a fundraising pack.
