On 25 April 2010, I'm going to be running my very first (and probably only) London Marathon. And to make it even more worthwhile, I'm raising money for the wonderful charity Children in Crisis, who's tireless work helps give children in some of the world’s poorest countries the education they need to help transform their lives.

Worldwide, one in six children is denied an education. At the heart of their work is the belief that education is the best possible route out of poverty, bringing hope for a better future for families, communities and over time, whole societies.

Children in Crisis’ vision is of a world where all children have access to education to enable them to fulfil their potential to live positive, healthy lives and contribute to the development of the societies in which they live.

I'd really love it if you could support me and my charity by making a donation.
