Celebrity War Child UK patrons, Neil Morrissey and Hugo Speer are calling for Big Bids for the Big Bus to aid the plight of children living in war torn countries across the globe. Operation Big Bus is the fundraising campaign set up by the Big Bus Ride and one of its major sponsors VIA Net. The Big Bus Ride took a multinational crew of six twenty-somethings, three girls and three guys, on a 1958 red London double decker bus 20,000 miles from London, via Canada to Tierra del Fuego. You can become a part of the journey and a part of the answer. They have just returned from the Middle East working with War Child Canada on a special documentary, War2Music, which will be broadcast later this Spring on Much Music.
Space is limited.
