Dan & Luke’s Lazarus Project
Hi, we’re Dan (aged 14) and Luke (aged 10). You may not have heard of us but we’re brothers.

We’ve decided that we would like to raise some money for children that live in one of the largest slums in Africa. We’ve set ourselves the challenge of trying to raise £1000 by September 4th 2011 – which is the end of our summer holidays.
