Fundraising

Here are a few ideas for those who might want to raise money for KMF. The intrepid Shirley Gosling was sponsored to climb Mt Kilimanjaro, Andy Macaskill ran the 2005 London marathon and Tony Hasler, in amazing technicolour, undertook a skydive! Thank you to all those who have made a real difference to the future of the children in Voi, Kenya.

Duck Race at Cookham Regatta

This has become an annual event each September when 300 yellow plastic ducks are thrown into the River Thames and race to the end of the course. The ducks are ‘sold’ before the race begins and there are prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd winners! Great fun is had by all and all proceeds go towards St. Bartholomew High School in Voi, Kenya.
