Add Momentum joins Rat Race!

07 March

3 teams from Add Momentum will be participating with the aim of raising £10,000 for HOPEHIV.

The 2007 Bristol Rat Race is on the 16th and 17th of June.

The Rat Race:

An urban adventure race involving teams of 3 competing in a multi-discipline challenge using fitness, nerves, teamwork and stamina.
An entire city is used as a course and over a whole weekend; teams run, climb, mountain bike, kayak and abseil the streets, waterways and urban jungle.
The course is 80km and is only revealed hours before you begin.

HIV/AIDS has already orphaned 13 million children in sub-Saharan Africa. By 2010, it is estimated that this number will rise to 20 million. Make no mistake; this is a problem of huge scale. Yet the opportunity of bringing life, hope and purpose to this generation of children makes it a cause worth fighting for.

Both Add Momentum and HOPEHIV believe that the future of Africa will largely be decided by the next generation of young leaders who emerge from the community of those orphaned by HIV/AIDS. This generation of orphans can, with the right support and training, produce the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs in Africa.

With £50, HOPEHIV could help vulnerable children by:

• Funding a life-skills training session for vulnerable young girls or
• Providing funds for 5 orphans in Tanzania to attend a local weekly Kids Club or
• Providing training for 5 street children for a month, providing them with skills to help get them off the streets.
