Hello, Lokabandhu here, with a request - 

Help me help Buddhafield fully own their land at Frog Mill by the end of 2010!

In 2006 Buddhafield bought 17 acres of gorgeous land in Dartmoor National Park called Frog Mill. The land is used to hold some of Buddhafield's larger retreats and has a salmon spawning river, the Blackaton Brook flowing through it and is home to kingfishers, dippers and a host of other wildlife. 

It cost £85,000 and Buddhafield has done very well to pay off over £50,000 but there is still £35,000 to go. 

So now they are looking for just 150 people to take up the challenge and raise £200 (or more!) each in creative and exciting ways - and I'm one of them!  I would LOVE Buddhafield to fully own Frog Mill by the end of 2010.

To raise my £300 contribution my son Sam and I will be running a night-time half-marathon of my own devising, from London Bridge to the Battersea Peace Pagoda,  criss-crossing London's bridges no less than 18 times - so you can be sure I'll have earned any contributions you choose to make.  The last one nearly killed me!  Please dig deep and sponsor me and help Buddhafield.  

Thank you.
