Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, on 5th October I'm running Bournemouth Marathon. I'm fundraising as part of WaterAid's To be a girl campaign and everything I raise before 9 September will be doubled by the UK Government.

Roughly 1 in 10 of the world's population don't have access to safe water. 2.5 billion people don't have access to adequate sanitation - that's roughly 1 in 3. Over 500,000 children die every year from diarrhoea caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. WaterAid works with local partners to help communities access safe water and sanitation. Just £15 can provide one person with access to safe water. You can make a difference by donating today.

If you know me, you know I was never athletic at school; 26 miles is a massive challenge so above all else please sponsor me for manning up and putting myself through some pain!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity.

Thank you so much!

Matt
