Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've been inspired by the making of our film (currently in production), Town of Runners to run the 2010 London Marathon and raise money for the charity Farm Africa. Town of Runners follows young athletes from the rural town of Bekjoi in Ethiopia over two years as they move from school track to national competition and from childhood to adulthood - you can watch the pilot for the film by clicking on the 'my video' link above.  The town lies in the heart of Ethiopia's farming region and the young runners lives are bound up with the changing circumstances of its agriculture so Farm Africa seemed like the right charity to run for; they do amazing work and make a real difference to peoples lives - go to their website using the link on left of this page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep if you can and donate now! Thank you! x
