<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>So i've only gone and done it, entered a Marathon! The 1st ever Milton Keynes marathon to be precise, on 29 April 2012. What have I done!? Someone who thought they could never run, is now running a marathon, madness!</p>
<p>But now I finally have pressed that button and entered, I can't not do it for charity, it is a marathon after all!! (and let me tell you, it's tough work all this training, dedication and an awful lot of hard work, roll on May when I can take it easy!)</p>
<p>So for those of you who haven't heard of MAF (and for my agricultural readers, no i'm not raising money for Defra's predecessor!) here is a little bit of information and a link to a short video which shows you some clips of the work they do.</p>
<p>MAF - Ministry Aviation Fellowship</p>
<p>For over 60 years MAF has operated in developing countries, bringing essential aid and spiritual sustenance to many of the world’s most inaccessible and inhospitable locations.</p>
<p>For tens of thousands of people in such places, seeing a doctor or having adequate food and clean water only happens when their planes arrive.</p>
<p>Without continued financial support MAF could not provide the aid so desperately needed.</p>
<p>MAF operate more than 135 aircraft across over 35 countries in the developing world. Flying across hostile environments, they reach the world’s most isolated people. They also<span style="font-family: Arial;"> partner with over 1,000 organisations to bring physical and spiritual care to those who need it most.</span></p>
