Thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page. I'm running my first half marathon for Starfish, an international development charity that helps children who have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS in southern Africa.

Starfish is currently supporting thousands of children in all 9 provinces of South Africa and any money you give will enable them to reach many more children. Here are some examples of what your sponsorship can achieve:

£3 will feed a child for a month

£20 will provide an emergency medical pack for a caregiver

£21 will send a child back to school

£100 will provide equipment for a creche for 50 children

Please dig deep, donate now and help me reach my target - your money will make a real difference.

Your support is very much appreciated.

Many thanks

Andrew
