75 year old MfM Patron and Travel Author is running for Madagascar!

 75 year old Money for Madagascar Patron Hilary Bradt is running two 10 kilometer runs to raise money for MfM, in Bristol on Sunday 7th May, and in London on the 29th May. As well as her patronage of MfM, Hilary is the author of the renowned Bradt travel guide books, and her guides to Madagascar are considered the authoritative guides to the country. With this keen interest in Madagascar, it only makes sense that she would want to raise money to help those who live there.

Hilary has previously raised money for Money for Madagascar by running the London 10k and the 10 mile Great South run five years ago, at the age of 70. Hilary described how she considered this feat to be "quite impressive" at the time and seems upbeat about the latest challenge, but admits that there is "no hope" of getting fit in time for the impeding Bristol run.

 Hilary is accepting donations via Justgiving, where there are more details about her run, and all money raised will be used to help some of the poorest people on the planet. MfM would also like to wish Hilary the best of luck with her endeavor and thank her for her ongoing commitment to supporting the Malagasy people.

Kris Pierscieniak, who provided the photos for our 2014 ‘Magnificent Madagascar’ calendar has just released a stunning, new, interactive ibook revealing hidden stories of THe Red Island entitled 

 ‘Madagascar: The Land Amidst Moving Waters’

Photographer & Author Kris Pierscieniak writes:

“I’ve been working on my Madagascar book these last few months. The need there is certainly very great. I’ve seen enough to realize the extent of the challenges the country faces. In all my travels, among all the many projects I’ve observed, all the countless people and organizations I’ve been introduced to, I have never seen more done with less. What Money for Madagascar accomplishes is truly remarkable, so I would like to help.”

So why not treat yourself or a friend to this wonderful experience! If you buy the ibook by the 15^th of June 2014 then the entire cover price will be donated to MfM to help provide education, sanitation and hope to forgotten communities across the island.
