<p>Hi Guys!</p>
<p>For my sins I decided to do the London Triathlon. 1500m Swim, 40k on the bike, and 10 k run. I may be mad!</p>
<p>With motivation lacking and the date getting closer I thought I should do it for a worth while cause... help spur me on... and help some really worth while work. So now to pull some heart strings :) </p>
<p>I am hoping to raise money for two causes, both supporting people with disabilities and social problems but one based in the UK and one in Nepal. </p>
<p>Get A Life! Is a program in Nepal which I was privilaged to see up and running and the effect it has. It really does turn disability into ability. £250 can give someone new legs and ultimately give someone their life back. </p>
<p>The Get A Life programme involves rehabilitation and prevention work meaning any money raised can enable disabled people to support not only themselves but also their familes. Remember Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world. </p>
<p>The second cause is HCPT Scotland (Group 77!!). The money raised will go towards taking kids from Falkirk and fife to Lourdes. The Kids have a wide range of physical and mental disabilities, or are physically and emotionally deprived or neglected. </p>
<p>Although I have not been to lourdes I have friends who report stories that bring a tear to the eye! Kids who absolutely love being taken away for the week, making friends, and having an opportunity to be themselves. It is also about respite for carers who work tirelessly throughout the rest of the year. If you wish your money to go to this cause then please donate through this link: <a href="http://www.justgiving.com/Sharon-Allison1">http://www.justgiving.com/Sharon-Allison1</a></p>
<p>So I hope you will support the causes. I know that EVERY PENNY will go towards something worthwhile and really help the invididuals they aim to reach. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Much Love! </p>
