My story
When I got talked into doing this I thought "this is going to hurt - a lot" - and having bumped up the training miles, I was right. But a challenge is a challenge - and so far so good.
ACTSA was established as the successor organisation to the Anti-Apartheid Movement at the call of Nelson Mandela and others, to campaign for development, democracy and rights for the people of the region. ACTSA works on issues including gender equality, democracy, and rights for the people of Zimbabwe and Swaziland, and fighting the terrible impact of HIV/AIDS.
It's a great organsation that makes a real difference and one which I'm proud to have been a member of for many years.
So please support development and democracy for southern Africa by sponsoring me to run hard and complete 26.2 miles this April. It will only take you a few seconds, and you'll be giving to a great cause.
Thanks for visting and give us what you can,
Cheers,
Ben

I've just handed over a big, fat cheque to ACTSA - thanks to everyone for your generous donations to a cracking organisation!
Thanks for giving everyone! Made the distance on four hours - cheers!
Last few miles gentle training tonight before the big one on Sunday - half fear and half pure excitement! The sponsorship total is looking good!
