Daisy Green are proud to support MAG

Doing the festival thing in the summer gave us the opportunity to meet lots of interesting people.

We did what we do best - chatted!

Non were more fascinating - and lucky - than Lisa French. A North East lass, Lisa hails from Durham. 3 years ago she was on the bus that was blown up by terrorists in London, on July 7th.

Right now I am not going to tell the whole story as you can read it in the magazine in 3 weeks and 2 days. Suffice is to say that the goose bumps rose and the tears brimmed as I listened to her story. Incredible. I think the phrase is "there but for the grace of God go I."

Anyhow, not one to wallow, Lisa has made a comittment to help others. To this end, she has chosen to support MAG, a charity dedicated to helping those victims of landmines and those who are busy destroying those that remain. (That's right, there are people who work tirelessly to destroy landmines. Never again will I complain about work.)

Daisy Green Magazine has made a comittment to sponsor Lisa. All profits from our launch party will be given to her and MAG to help her build homes for landmine survivors in Cambodia.

We will find an appropriate method of offsetting the Carbon Dioxide emission released getting her to Cambodia and we will follow her adventure with (hopefully) regular updates.

For more information on MAG please go to: www.maginternational.org

To sponsor Lisa and husband Russ, go to: www.maginternational.org/supportmag/events/community-challenge-cambodia/lisa--russell/

JUST £15 pays to clear 10 square metres of land of mines, missiles and cluster bombs.

Best £15 I have spent.
