Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I am proud to be running the London Marathon again for such a wonderful charity as AbleChildAfrica. Like many of us in this country I grew up taking the priviledge of opportunity for granted.&nbsp;Recent trips I have made to Tanzania and South Africa have humbled me, seeing children with&nbsp;no material&nbsp;wealth strive for just the opportunity to make a better life for themselves and their families.</p> <p>When I found out about the work AbleChildAfrica carry out, especially with disabled children,&nbsp;I knew it was&nbsp;a charity I wanted to support. They provide some of the most disadvantaged children in Africa with the opportunity to attend school and recieve support, care&nbsp;and love.&nbsp;</p> <p>Please visit their web-site&nbsp;(<a href="http://www.ablechildafrica.org">www.ablechildafrica.org</a>) to find out more about their inspirational work, to see where your generous &nbsp;donation&nbsp;will go and to find out more about the children you will help</p> <p>A huge thank you for your support</p> <p>Ben</p>
