Hello everyone,

As you know, earthquake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale struck Haiti on 12 January 2010, that has claimed thousands of lives and affected many more.

In an effort to raise some funds for the British Red Cross Appeal, a group of us are partaking  in either a 4km Swim, an 8km Run or Both as the case may be.

The Red Cross has pre-positioned relief supplies for 3,000 families in Haiti. These emergency supplies consist of kitchen kits, shelter kits and tarpaulins, personal hygiene kits, blankets and containers for storing drinking water.

A group of experts in disaster response, emergency health and logistics, sent by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, has been deployed to support the Haitian Red Cross in the relief efforts.

Please do donate generously to the cause and let us hope for swift return to normality (impossible though that sounds) in Haiti.

Thank you for your generosity.
