    BUILDING BRIDGES

    “A Unique Fundraising Walk of the 5 Historic Bridges of London”

    ... (London Bridge, Tower Bridge, Southwark Bridge, Westminster Bridge and Chelsea Bridge)

    Brothers Walk: Saturday 17th December 2011
    Sisters Walk: Sunday 18th December 2011

    Let the Challenge Begin!!! A Special Dinner will be arranged for either the Brothers Team or Sisters Team who win in raising the most money. In addition, an individual prize will be given to the highest fundraiser.

    Walk, walk, walk

    Our walk will take you about 4 and a half to 5 hours to complete and will take you over some of the most iconic bridges of London.

    This is an event that anyone can enter, young or old, and offers the chance to pass by many of London’s most spectacular sights, such as the London Eye, Big Ben, Tower of London, London Eye, Houses of Parliament and many more. Finish the walk at Chelsea Bridge where we will finish the evening with a beautiful meal.

    Where is the Money being raised towards?

    The money raised will be dedicated to two caused. Firstly it will be dedicated towards Rahma Mercy Charity (www.rahmamercy.org.uk), a 12 year old charity which has been specializing in focusing on humanitarian walk in the Balkans (primarily Albania and Kosovo).

    In addition, the money raised will also be donated to charitable causes based in South East Asia, notably India, Pakistan and Bangladesh focusing specifically on the orphans. This is a new venture of Al Buruj Press, specifically helping the destitute in South East Asia. The money raised for this cause will go towards a School for Orphans based in Sialkot, Pakistan. This new exciting project is to be launched very soon.
