Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Whilst I can enjoy the fun and socialising of running, I feel supporting a charity at the same time is a good way to give something to those less fortunate.

Your sponsorship will help children and adults in East Africa affected by poverty, disability and HIV to improve their education, health and incomes through the excellent work of Advantage Africa - a small, effective, Olney-based charity founded by Andrew and Jane Betts.  They will use the funds raised from the Great North Run to help vulnerable people improve their lives for the long term.

Find out more about Advantage Africa at www.advantageafrica.org and hear journalist Jon Snow’s thoughts at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTYeEyFXe1U
