ABBY HIKES 'THE SALKANTAY TRAIL' TO MACHU PICCHU
IN AID OF MEDICINS SANS FRONTIERES (MSF)
What are we doing?
Over the course of 10 days from 20th TO 30th October, a group of us 25 challengers from my company - Omnicom Media group - will trek 70km along the Salkantay Trail to Machu Picchu to raise funds for Medicins Sans Frontieres. (MSF).
Who are we doing it for?
Between us all, we're hoping to raise a total of AED 175,000 that will be used for medical assistance to those affected by epidemics, disasters and don't have access to healthcare. The charity challenge is held in association with local not-for-profit Gulf for Good and is approved by the Islamic Affairs & Charitable Activities Department, Licence No. 4013. I know it's incredibly important to know where the money goes so here's a breakdown:
- 75% of funds raised go to MSF: www.msf.org/
- 15% of funds raised go to Gulf for Good (not-for-profit organisation in the UAE and registered UK charity) for their sustainability: www.gulf4good.org
- 10% of funds raised go to International Humanitarian City for their emergency response work.
Why your help is just the start of it all..
I can't raise it on my own - but with your help and with any amount (no matter how big or small), I know it's possible! I'm going to try my best to organize activities and initiatives in my local community to raise money in a way that gives back to you but with your donations, I'll be closer to my goal every day - a goal to work together to help each other across the world.
There is no time anymore
