Hello hello, Call me crazy... But on Saturday 13 of October 2012, I am going to be DANCING a MARATHON ! Yes yes, it’s true... Not only have I dedicated all my spare time since March 2011 volunteering for LearnBurma (as of March 2012 I’m being paid though, hurrah – I’ll get on to that in a bit), I have decided to Dance Britain for Burma – a whole 26.2miles into Land’s End – to get fit and raise money by doing something that I love and am free to do. PLEASE help me reach my target of £799 !! As someone once said, “We may not be able to change the world, but we can bloody well try...” (Simon Weston, <span style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Falklands Veteran & Motivational Speaker)   A little bit about where your money will be going and what it will be used for... LearnBurma’s aims are to INSPIRE and ENCOURAGE our young generation in the UK, through raise awareness talks & workshops, and capturing young people’s interest via high dynamic campaigns (such as Free to Dance 2011 and Dance Britain 2012). As well as bringing Burma alive by connecting classrooms 6,000 miles apart – enabling students and teachers to interact, share and learn in schools around the UK and those in and around Burma. LearnBurma is partnered with four other exceptional organisations – AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL, PROSPECT BURMA, BURMA CAMPAGN UK and PARTNERS RELIEF & DEVELOPMENT, all for a better Burma. Dance Britain comes at a crucial time, as the possibility of change looks more and more likely within the country, and the need for support is greater than ever. For those family & friends that don’t know... My link with LearnBurma has come from its inspiration of using DANCE as a symbol of FREEDOM, something that Burma is without. After volunteering since March last year (for its ‘Free to Dance’ campaign ending October 2011), this year - as of 5 March 2012 - I have won a place on the World of Difference Scheme  (<a href="http://www.worldofdifference.com">www.worldofdifference.com</a>), where I will be PAID to work for the charity (focussing on its 2012 campaign, ‘Dance Britain for Burma’) ! What are you going to do with your freedom ?
