My story

Hello

I have recently become a trustee for the charity International Development Enterprise (IDE) and decided to run the Cardiff Half Marathon to raise funds for this fantastic small charity that works with smallholder farmers in some of the world’s poorest countries, specifically those that live on less than $1 a day

The charity has particularly focused on developing affordable irrigation products, enabling farmers to grow crops to both feed their family but also to sell in the local area.

This unique market-based approach alleviates rural poverty by giving farmers a hand-up rather than a hand out!

I am sure that you will support me in my efforts to fundraise for this great and worthy cause where every pound will really make a difference to the lives of thousands of people.

Thanks for your support

Best wishes

Michael

P.S. 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.
