Raising money for

Temwa

Charity Registration No. 1101090

Temwa is an organisation that raises funds to implement community-based projects in Malawi, southern Africa. Temwa is based in an area called Usisya, on the north shore of Lake Malawi. This remote area has no electricity, no running water and is severely affected by the AIDS epidemic. Due to poor road and telecommunications infrastructure, public services and other relief efforts are very limited. Overseen by a project Manager in Malawi, Temwa runs a series of programmes that are aimed at proving sustainable, community-driven development in four key areas: Health education, Skills development, Agriculture and irrigation and Schools support. In the future Temwa plans to establish similar schemes in other parts of Malawi.

My story

Hello, hello

I only started running at the beginning of the year and this will be the longest running race I've ever done. I'm desperately hoping my legs are going to last for 13.1 miles - I get the feeling I'll need to have the support of my colleagues, friends and family to help ensure I make it to the finish line.

My target finish time is 1hr 50mins, so please incentivise me with some target related sponsorship. I like a good challenge!

Please, please sponsor me generously and support a hugely worthwhile charity in the process.

Thanks you very much

James
