Freedom Challenge {A21 Campaign} // 11 Days to Raise Awareness

One of my all time favourite organisations (The A21 Campaign) has a team of 8 cyclists who will start their 11 day journey to raise awareness and funds to combat modern day slavery and human trafficking and see it abolished in the 21st century!

Please show your support by spreading the word and encouraging your friends, family, colleagues (and yourselves) to donate to this incredible cause!

Together we can literally change the world.

Blessings!

From October 6-16, 2013, The A21 Campaign is holding a FREEDOM CHALLENGE where a team of brave and determined cyclists will ride through trafficking routes and mountainous regions from Sofia, Bulgaria, to London, UK. The purpose of this ride is to raise awareness both in countries where many young women and children are taken, as well as to raise $210,000 for The A21 Campaign shelters and victim assistance programs.

Take the FREEDOM CHALLENGE by becoming a sponsor today. Click here to make a donation now, or follow the navigation bar for more information.

Together, we can see the injustice of human trafficking abolished in the 21st Century.

A21 // 11 days to raise awareness!

In 2008, Nick and Christine Caine founded The A21 Campaign, an anti-human-trafficking organization that is dedicated to abolishing slavery in the 21st century. A21 has a global presence around the world with offices in Greece, Ukraine, Bulgaria, United Kingdom, Australia, USA and South Africa. The A21 Campaign’s comprehensive approach includes raising awareness, preventing future trafficking, taking legal action and providing rehabilitation services for survivors.

Run 3K for Freedom TODAY!

Morning all! It's a gorgeous day today and we're in the final stages of setting up and propping for the Run3KforFreedom event ( https://www.facebook.com/events/169281416569486/ ) that my friend Sharmila has organised!

Run3KforFreedom is a 3km run (or you can jog or walk) to raise awareness and money for the work of The A21 Campaign's incredible fight against human trafficking and modern day slavery (http://www.thea21campaign.org/ )! There are more slaves today than there have ever been (and some of them are right around the corner from where we live!), so we are very proud to be able to work with them to put an end to modern day slavery and human trafficking in the 21st century!

You can join us this afternoon either in Page's wood to run/jog/walk, or to spectate/support. There will also be cakes and A21 Campaign materials on sale: https://www.facebook.com/events/169281416569486/

Or you can show your support for our runners and this incredibly important cause by sponsoring us online: http://www.justgiving.com/run3kforfreedom  - All proceeds will go to The A21 Campaign, which is tirelessly fighting for the freedom of those trapped in modern day slavery!

Blessings!
