Story

Thanks for visiting my page! 

I'm running the London Marathon for Concern Worldwide who are going to be using the money raised for some really worthwhile education projects for children in Sierra Leone.  It's the poorest country in the world according to the UN, with only 42% of children attending primary school.  70% of the population is illiterate and life expectancy is just 41years old. 

To try and help out, I'm going to run 26.2 miles... probably walk some of it too...and quite possibly crawl.  I've got a huge fundraising target and I really really really need your help... so please dig as deep as you can!

Heres how your money might help...

 

£81 could train a school management committee to develop and support their school for the future

£145 could provide specialist distance learning training course for a teacher

£565 could provide tools and seeds for a school garden, a source of food for the pupils and a way to generate an income for the school.
