<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
<p>I discovered running couple years ago when one of my friends encouraged me to go to the gym for special jogging sessions. I am a keen basketball player and running helps me to maintain healthy body and reduce stress. I believe sport inspires hope, instills discipline. It raises self-confidense, raises awareness, rallies communities and denies prejudice. I just feel alive when I am running!!! I want to help who are less fortunate , I want them to be alive!! No matter how much many I will raise - I believe lt will help towards something good!!! Thank you.</p>

<div><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">The core of operations is managing the register and looking after donors. They recruit people to the register, search for matches in the UK and abroad, and liaise with hospitals and transplant centres. Once a match has been found, they take care of the whole process. Anthony Nolan charity contacts the donor, look after them before and after the procedure, and ensure the donation reaches the patient safely.</span></span></div>
