Big Hitch UoM : From Prague to Athens!!!

The Big Hitch society at the University of Manchester is doing its biggest feat yet. We are hitchhiking from Prague to Athens from the 27th of March to the 5th of April with a midway stop at Mostar. This journey is an incredible adventure where we can experience amazing things, meet new people, and uniquely see Europe. All for two exceptional causes!! Follow @bighitch.uom on Instagram to follow the journey.

For this incredible journey, we are fundraising 50/50 for two charities: Young Manchester and Against Malaria Foundation.

Information about the two charities:

Young Manchester:
Young Manchester is a youth-led charity working with over 120 local groups to create opportunities for more than 15,000 young people across the city. The partnerships with local groups strengthen, connect, and champion opportunities for over 15,000 young people (aged 0-25) every week, ensuring every child is included from every background.

Against Malaria Foundation:
The Against Malaria Foundation works to protect families from malaria by funding and distributing long-lasting insecticidal bed nets in communities most at risk. For just $2, a net can protect multiple people, and 100% of public donations go directly towards buying these nets. The charity tracks where nets are distributed and monitors their impact, and has consistently been rated as a top charity by organisations such as GiveWell.
