My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in central London on Sunday 11th October 2009 for Practical Action. As it says on the left, Practical Action is an international charity that works with some of the world's poorest people using simple technology to fight poverty and transform their lives for the better. For example, my sandbar cropping photo shows a Bangladeshi family farming on the sand plains left behind by floods.

There is loads more about Practical Action and the many good things it is doing around the world on its website www.practicalaction.org.uk.

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.
