<p>Hello friends,</p> <p>In April 2012, I am running the London Marathon for AfghanAid. A long term sustainable development charity that is setting the standards for effective charity work with efficient fininancing.&nbsp; John Simpson is on board this too:&nbsp;<a style="line-height: 17px; color: blue; cursor: pointer; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; background-color: #ffffff;" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3XxPMYNedg blocked::http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3XxPMYNedg" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3XxPMYNedg">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3XxPMYNedg</a></p> <p>The work done, and the money donated will be effective in the long run and donations are going to go a long way to make a direct difference to the people of rural afghanistan, through business, agricultural, educational and electrical infrastructure and development.</p> <p>I have accrude my tips from work to the charity and continue to do so. The reasons for why I am doing this are in part due to many friends have now joined the British Army in regular service and are either out in Afghanistan or heading out there soon. Other friends within the T.A are also soon going to be deployed as well.&nbsp;</p> <p>I definitely need your help and I want to give a little something back to you too, so on Facebook, I am going to find and upload funny clips, comedians and all the things entertaining and uplifting that will help you get through the day too!</p> <p>Also, just for peace of mind:</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....</p> <p>All the best with warmest regards</p> <p>Marcus Goodwille</p>
