A Money for Madagascar supporter has raised hundreds of pounds to hep us work with Malagasy men, women and children, with a 100km (62 mile) hill-trek.<\/h4>\n

Gregg Smith completed the timed hike through the UK\u2019s Peak District on 28-29 June, and thanks in part to your help, raised \u00a3626, well above his original target of \u00a3500.<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He said: \u2018The challenge was gruelling – my feet have only just returned to normal after all the blisters – but incredible at the same time. It was such a nice change from the daily grind to have nothing to do but walk for two whole days. And being the Peak District, the scenery was stunning. The weather was perfect too!\u00a0A massive thank you to all the MFM supporters who donated!<\/em><\/span>\u2019<\/h4>\n

As we noted before the event<\/a>, Gregg first visited Madagascar in 2014, spending six months volunteering on the island.<\/h4>\n

On his return, having in his words \u2018fallen in love with the island and its wildlife,\u2019 he found and volunteered with us on several occasions.<\/h4>\n

He said: \u2018A donation \u2014 no matter how small \u2014 would mean a LOT. It will directly fund MfM to continue their life-saving work in Madagascar. Thank you.<\/em><\/span>\u2019<\/h4>\n

We use money donated to us \u2013 like that raised and kindly donated to us by Gregg, and you \u2013 to provide a platform from which Malagasy people, 79.9 per cent of whom live on or below the global poverty baseline of \u00a31.73 per day, most of whom miss at least one meal a day, and who suffer the ill-effects of food shortage affecting themselves and their communities, can improve their lives, improve their incomes, and lift themselves from poverty and hunger.<\/h4>\n

We help ensure children can attend schools which provide the highest possible standard of education, and that they are not too tired, to ill, or too hungry, to achieve their full potential. We help make sure children who cannot live with their families receive the shelter, food, clean water, education, healthcare, attention and care they need and deserve.<\/h4>\n

And we help Malagasy men, women and children, protect, expand and benefit from the extraordinary wilderness upon which every living thing on Earth relies.<\/h4>\n

We welcome \u2013 as we always have and always will \u2013 any support you can offer us.<\/h4>\n

Gregg\u2019s Just Giving page is still open so you can donate at: https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/page\/gregg-walks-for-madagascar?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL<\/a><\/h4>\n
