Hi. I am doing the 'Run to the Beat' London Half marathon this weekend - for those of you who don't know, that is 21km which for me is a VERY long way! I am running it on behalf of 'Clouds of Hope' which is a fantastic charity based in the community in which I was raised, Underberg, South Africa. The area is ravaged by aids and there is an enormous need for help in providing for the many children who are left without parents as a result of this awful disease. I have seen the devistating effects of this awful illness and know few people who are unafected by it, one way or another. The charity is run by a group of dedicated individuals who work tirelessly for the good of others. Any donation will be most welcome as it will go a long way to make the lives of those children a little easier. 

Hold thumbs for me on Sunday.

Love Gill.
