CJ de Mooi from the TV quiz show 'The Egg Heads' ran as part of Team Amnesty 2010. CJ told us what motivated him to run for Amnesty:
“I've been a member of Amnesty International for 15 years and it is by far the most important charity in the world to me. The work they do for Human Rights across the world is imperative, everyone needs to support them.”
Why run for Amnesty International?
If you decide to join Team Amnesty you will be running as part of a movement. A movement of brave, motivated people helping the fight to prevent human rights abuses.
Amnesty International is about individuals working to make the world a better place for other individuals. The money you raise will go towards funding our research and campaigns which help to promote and prevent human rights abuses.
