Story

<p>On the 19th of May,&nbsp;I&nbsp;am taking part in the Brooklyn Half marathon in the hope of&nbsp;raising money for children living with HIV/AIDS in Southern Africa.&nbsp;Through a&nbsp;combination of running and walking&nbsp;(I was injured&nbsp;for the better part of my training - stop shaking your heads), and feeding off the energy from the side lines, i am hoping to compelete the&nbsp;13.1 miles in a decent time, but by no means break any records.</p> <p>Being Zimbabwean, HIV/AIDS&nbsp;is&nbsp;an issue that is very close to home and i hope this race will help me raise some much needed&nbsp;funds to support the cause. Please dig deep and donate.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p>
