<p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;">Shivapuri Vertical 10k just wasn't enough for our young Noah Ji. After 3 Everest beers didi Helen took it upon herself to persuade him to up his game & do the Kathmandu Marathon in three weeks time. Think Shaun Pegg in Run Fat Boy Run only with the added obstacles of traffic, bikes, street dogs & the choking fumes of micros running on fully leaded. To top that all off it's all at least 1300m above sea level (see <a href="http://moireosullivan.com/2010/10/03/chaotic-kathmandu-marathon/">http://moireosullivan.com/2010/10/03/chaotic-kathmandu-marathon/</a>) </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;">Noah's decided to run the marathon in aid of The Esther Benjamins Trust & more specifically for the permaculture project which he is setting up in Bhairhawa.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;">The project aims to develop & employ young Nepali adults who have been rescued from trafficking & other disadvantaged backgrounds. Whilst providing them with a guaranteed income & independence it will also give them the opportunity to learn invaluable permaculture skills such as bee keeping, fish farming, mushroom growing & other integrated farming methods. A piece of land has already been allocated for the project & preparations are being made. </span></p>
<p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;">It would be fantastic if you could sponsor Noah on his mental quest to raise the funds to kick start the project. So please dig deep & donate now.</span></p>
