Kishinoor

Fathers for ‘Mothers of Africa’ - Team Kishinoor will be collecting for this small charity that helps train midwives, nurses and medics to handle problems of childbirth for women in Sub-Saharan Africa.  Maternal mortality in this area is very high, and any small complication in labour has serious consequences.

Visit our justgiving website to donate:

We are aiming to raise £5000 which will enable Mothers of Africa train 5 nurse anaesthetist!  As of the 10/06/2010 we were nearly half way there so keep donating.

We all want a challenge; the sailors want to get fit, the runners want to get sea-sick!

3rd in Tillman Trophy and 8th overall is great. Maybe next time we'll get the locking in in Whitehaven in our favour.
