Story

I found out five weeks before the Marathon that I would be running, not ideal preparation as I have never run one before. Since then I have been pounding the

I am only hoping that the 'altitude training' that I did trekking to Everest Base Camp in November and December might help. As then, I am doing this for Hope and Homes for Children and more specificaly their work in Rwanda and South Africa with orphans of the AIDs crisis.

I was able to visit Rwanda last June and witnessed both the scale of the problem and the tremendous amount that can be achieved very quickly with a small amount of money wisely spent. Families are held together, houses repaired and children can be given food, clothing, medical care. Most importantly, they have the opportunity to go to school or learn a skill to sustain them in the future. These children are given suitable adult guidance to help them in times of trouble, or just to have someone to talk to, as they would their parents.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Hope and Homes for Children will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support.
