Minesweepers
Minesweepers® is the world's first and only running charity dedicated to raising funds for landmine clearance. This group was started in the fall of 2001 as a project of the United Nations Association-San Francisco Chapter's Young Professional Group. To date we have raised over $40,000 for landmine clearance.
We currently are starting teams for the Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco (October 22), the New York City Marathon (November 6), and we’re also looking at a half-marathon in the summer.
We’re starting a few teams this year to help landmine clearance in Juba, Sudan and in Colombia (the most landmine infested country in the hemisphere). We’re looking for runners, team captains, sponsors and donors. Please contact us here for more info: Fernando Corredor..
