Hello! First of all, thank you for taking the time to view my page. Discovering an active way to raise money for charity has always been a dream of mine. As I became more aware of the Laureus Foundation and their initiatives, I knew this was something I had to be part of. When offered a spot in the 2012 London Marathon back in December, I thought, what better way to kick off the New Year than train for a marathon! I have always had a passion for sports and living an active lifestyle and believe I can help raise money for this wonderful foundation. For those of you who do not know much about the Laureus Foundation, I will explain below, or you may visit: <a href="http://www.laureus.com/">http://www.laureus.com/</a>  I will be running to raise awareness and funds for the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation. Specifically, the money raised will assist 78 projects that the Foundation supports all over the world – whether its giving young people in Britain the opportunity to separate themselves from gang crime or educating African children about HIV/AIDS, it is all done through sport. Simply put, Laureus celebrates the universal power of sport to bring people together as a force for good, passionately embodying the very spirit of sport - the pursuit of excellence, overcoming challenges, celebrating achievement and excellence, and winning against the odds. The Foundation uses the principles of sport to help tackle pressing social challenges worldwide through sports related community development initiatives, funded strictly through the Foundation. Laureus attracts groups of people who share a belief in the power of sport to break down barriers, to engage with others and to change the world for the better. It seeks to inspire hope and positive change for children around the world using sport as a unique social vehicle. My goal is to raise $4,000 (£2599) in an effort to aid projects the Foundation is pursuing. Your support is greatly appreciated and I hope you consider donating! To further the incentive and spice things up a little bit, I am willing to take on the challenge of you doubling your donation if I am able to finish the April 22nd race in 3 hours 20 minutes (7:40 pace). Thus, if you donate £40 and I finish the race in 3 hours 20 minutes or less, you would need to double your donation! Again, your support would mean the world to me and I can’t thank you enough for even taking the initial step in visiting my fundraising page. Who’s with me?!
