Story

I've never done a fundraising event before and thought I would throw myself in at the deep end by running a 10km race over the hills of Derbyshire. It's taking place on June 5th at Thornbridge Hall, which is where they brew Jaipur and other delicious beers.

The charity I'm running for is called Village Aid. They strongly believes that African people are best placed to deal with the problems in Africa, helping them by providing resources and capital so they can develop affective solutions. So come on, dig deep and support me in further destroying my body for a brilliant cause.

Cheers!


Here's the mandatory, Justgiving jargon bit...

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.
