<p>THE FULL STORY:&nbsp; I am not quite sure how it happened, but somehow I seem to have agreed to run the London Marathon (yes that is 26 miles !! or 42 kms - one way on another that's A LOT)&nbsp; to raise money for Everychild! EveryChild is an international development charity working to stop children growing up vulnerable and alone.</p> <p>Having lived 2 years in Africa, I saw how bad it can be for some childrens, so every little penny could help them having a better life, for example, 10&pound; would buy a full set of study books and for 20&pound; you could help a child getting reunited with its family.<br> <br> I&rsquo;m hoping to raise &pound;1600. I reckon if I know I&rsquo;m getting &pound;50 for every painful mile, I can keep going whatever happens. So many thanks for anything you can give, even if it is just a pound (dollar or euro - you can pay in any currency)!. All expenses are covered, so every penny you give goes to Everychild. And if you can&rsquo;t donate, then just send me a message to wish me luck! It&rsquo;ll be appreciated! :-)<br> <br> <span style="font-style: italic;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. They make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So thanks for any help you can give. </span><br> <br> <br> IN THE NEWS: I have been featured in TV !!
