Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Royal Parks Half Marathon on Sunday 10th October for Book Aid International.

Book Aid International supports libraries in schools, refugee camps, prisons, universities, communities and more in sub-Saharan Africa. As well as donating books, they also support libraries by providing grants for purchasing books locally, maintaining library buildings or training for library staff.

Last year Book Aid International provided half a million new books to over 2,000 libraries through 153 partners in 13 countries last year.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
