Sponsor Skimlinks & Donate to Pakistan Flood Relief

Posted by Hannah on August 27, 2010 in Experiences

CARE International has launched an appeal to help the 16 million survivors of the worst floods in Pakistan’s history, and our Skimlinks team is trying to contribute to the cause, as we compete in the CARE Challenge next weekend.

On September 4th, we’ll be taking part in a ten hour multisport event to help CARE International, including hiking, biking and canoeing the distance of a marathon in Somerset’s Exmoor National Park, with all money raised from the event going to CARE – as they attempt to raise over £10 million for Pakistan.

CARE has already rushed water purification tablets, tents, family hygiene kits, kitchen sets, tarpaulins and mosquito nets to thousands of survivors, but there’s so much more to do as the disaster continues to unfold.

You can read about CARE International’s efforts on their website here, or visit our fundraising page to help us raise £1,500 for the cause.

We’d love to do everything we can to help CARE, and hope you’ll give generously.
