All of our sponsors should be feeling very proud indeed. The final sum raised, including gift aid, was £5336 - which is a truly staggering total.
This breaks down into £3556 for Shelterbox and £1780 for Practical Action.
A huge thanks must go to TES Aviation - who matched the initial £1778 total raised, doubling it in one fell swoop. And a massive thanks to each and every other sponsor, no matter how big or small the donation. Times are hard - and those of you who managed to donate are real stars.
Thank you.
The money is going to some very good causes. An unfortunate irony is that one of the towns we drove through early in the trip (Abancay), has since suffered some severe mudslides which has left many people homeless. Some comfort at least that the 6 Shelterboxes that our donations bought will be put to good use - helping 60 people to survive after the disaster.
Likewise the Practical Action donations support communities who we met, passed, and indeed received support form ourselves. It is a good feeling to be able to share with these people.
