<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>On Sunday 4th December 2011 I will be running the London Santa Run - i.e. 5km around Greenwich Park in a Santa suit.</p> <p>Why? Because an excellent little charity called Developing Technologies needs funding for next year in order to further develop&nbsp;two appropriate-technology transport vehicles which will&nbsp;be used in the rural areas to transport locals and for basic sustainable agriculture. The money raised will be&nbsp;used for building materials and other essential vehicle necessities - with materials available and sourced locally so that the technology is repairable and replicable elsewhere.</p> <p>Developing Technologies specialises in the design and devleopment of sustainable, appropriate technologies which are suitable for the specific needs of developing communities. It partners with engineering departments at Imperial College and City University to offer students the opportunity to build their skills and expertise in these fields - with the goal of taking these skills on into their professional lives.</p> <p>Take a look at www.developingtechnologies.org to find out more about what they are doing, and then please give what you can to support a really great project.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
