Story

<p>So I'm running* the London Marathon on Sunday (22nd).</p> <p>I made it in on a ballot place, but thought I'd best take the opportunity to raise a little coin for a good cause (leaving it fairly late so that I'm only annoying you with links to this for about a week).</p> <p>The Klevis Kola Foundation is a great little charity that helps support refugee and asylum seeker families in the area. They help people get set up in their new lives (and continue to help them out), perform advocacy on their behalf, and run various programs for their kids (such as after-school clubs and trips).</p> <p>* Given a fairly liberal interpretation of the term "running"</p> <p>--------------</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p>
