Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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.

In August next year I will be competing in the London Triathlon raising money for Hope HIV.

 

  HOPEHIV’s roots go back to 1997, when Phil Wall met a little girl called Zodwa, whose mother was a sex worker dying of AIDS. Phil and his wife Wendy tried to adopt Zodwa but were prevented. Undeterred, they decided to raise money to help. Today, HOPEHIV is helping some 50,000 vulnerable children and young people through some 40 partner organisations in 400 communities in sub-Saharan Africa. HOPEHIV’s work generates real hope through:

• Emotional and social support
• Education
• Economic empowerment
• Child rights

  Our UK office is building a network to support community-based projects in the countries in Sub Sahara Africa. Those projects are selected and monitored by our team in South Africa and Tanzania.
The charity landscape is blurred with organisations helping African orphans. We are defined by:

• Productive partnerships
• Investment
• Enterprise and innovation
• Being positive and passionate about potential

Please donate to this absolutely worthy cause and come down for the day and we can celebrate the occassion together. Well..........when I say occassion what I really mean is.......completing a 1500m swim in the Thames followed by a 40k bike ride around London and then finally a 10k run. They say 2.5 hrs would be a very good time so that is what I am aiming for!!

I will be keeping you updated on my progress as I have already started training, don't worry though, you are not going to be spammed, they will be monthly updates with blogs and media.

Thanks in advance for your support!
