My story

The open road. One man. One pair of dangerously skimpy shorts. And 13.1 miles...

Hey gang,

This summer I’m heading off to the Matthew Rusike Children’s Home in Zimbabwe to help with teaching and school development. So in preparation I’m running a half marathon to try and raise some money for the Zimbabwe Benefit Foundation which works to relieve suffering, empower dispossessed people and enable the rebuilding of communities in Zimbabwe.

My family have always had routes in Zimbabwe and ZBF do fantastic work in a country in the midst of a terrible humanitarian crisis. I know time’s are hard and money’s tight but any donation you could make would be really appreciated and go to excellent use.

Thanks very much. Stay classy.

Now the boring bit...Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
