My story

C'est Fini!!!

 I did it- an amazing 42.195 Parisien kms in 4 hrs 17!

 And it was 'painfully' FUN!  Take a look at the route!

Thank you for all your warm thoughts , support and your generosity. 

Together we have so far raised £521.00 for the Maun Homeopathy Project  in Botswana and more is coming in- so that is over the target- formidable! Merci a tout!

My 1st marathon - to be run in Paris, April 15th, 2012!!

At 47 years old I need all the motivation and support I can find - my inspiration to run this marathon is to be found in Botswana.

The Maun Homeopathy Project, BOTSWANA was set up 10 years ago by my homeopath (www.homeopathybotswana.com/) and is providing incredible support, healthcare and training to many Botswanans who would not otherwise be able to access this kind of homeopathic health.

Botswana has a special place in my heart - I first travelled and fell in love with the country and the Kalahari 15 years ago.

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.

Thank you all so much for your support and generosity.

 

Jo - Post Paris Marathon!
