Hi All, thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
So I have finally done it and set myself an actual race and a target. I am fundraising for Envision which if I haven't already spent hours telling you about as I often tend to, then here it is in a nutshell and why it is important to me.
Envision work in schools and colleges across London, Birmingham and Leeds with over 1500 students a year to support them as they run their own commnunity projects. Envision is all about youth-led community work and has fpr the last 9 years produced empower young leaders one after another.
I am one of those lucky empowered young people and it was Envision that begun my journey and have supported my every step as a campaigners and environmentalist. They have even been kind enough to employ me this summer so I can contribute back in many ways.
But there is also no substitute for good honest cash, sweat money for my 13 miles that will help to fund exisitng programmes and the expansion of Envision's outreach to work with more young people and deliver effective social change.
So please donate as much or as little as you can. You can either decide a figure to sponsor me by the mile - 13.1 in total. Or maybe you want to donate some now as a base contribution and then set me a target time and contribute a bonus if I meet that target.
I am aiming for less than 1 hour 45 minutes, this is my first ever official race, and first competitive run over 5km. So it should be lots of fun and I am trainning hard at the moment to be in god shape.
The first £150 that I raise will help post-fund an Environmental Leadership course I attended this summer in Scotland as a student of Envision, but had not found the suitable opportunity to raise the money to go prior to the course. Everyhitng after that will go straight to Envision.
Thank you for your support and please contact me if you want to ask me any questions, set me a target or show some moral support for me and my trainers.
Smiles,
James
