My story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
As part of my ongoing midlife crisis I have decided to enter the Birmingham half Marathon (BUPA Great Birmingham run) on 21st October 2012. One of my interests is bees and beekeeping so I thought that it would be an opportunity to raise money to help beekeeping in the developing world. This helps both the bee population and poor communities who learn how to keep bees and harvest a valuble crop of honey.
Bees for development is an organisation which supports beekeepers in the developing world by providing educational resourses and to help them produce honey and beeswax, protect local biodiversity and keep bees health. Visit www.beesfordevelopment.org .
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.
So please dig deep and donate now.

Did it! 1 hour and 50 mins thanks to my son running with me. Feeling a bit stiff today, right knee aches, but glad to have exceeded target. This represents a basic training for over 250 new bekeepers! Thank you.

Good Luck Martin - David A. suggested that I make a donation instead of paying for his talk because of his African connection, as do I too.
