Hello and Thank You very much for sponsoring me...I thoroughly appreciate it. I have just ran this years London Marathon with a time of 3 hours and 40 minutes and I would appreciate as much help as possible in raising money for the Children With Aids Charity (CWAC). It is a fantastic and worthwhile charity that provides care for young children with HIV/AIDS. As of March 2006, 1769 children aged 0 - 14 have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in the UK. If young people aged 15 - 19 are added, the figure for children and young people aged 0 - 19 years is 4314 CWAC raises money in order to look after these kids' welfare by: 1. Providing direct financial support through a hardship and respite fund. 2. Providing assistance with transport and transport costs. 3. Educating people about HIV/AIDS and how to prevent its spread. Before you donate please sacrifice a few minutes of your time and educate yourself with what CWAC is all about: FAQ's about young children with HIV/AIDS http://www.cwac.org/education_faq.htm How CWAC helps http://www.cwac.org/how_we_help.htm About CWAC http://www.cwac.org/about_us.htm ANY DONATION IS GREAT BUT A £ A MILE OR MORE WOULD BE FANTASTIC How Your Money Helps Support Children: £5 allows us to distribute resources, free publications and condoms. £10 enables a child infected/affected by HIV to go on a respite day trip via the Respite Breaks Project. £10 produces and mails out Talking With Children booklets to five affected families. £15 pays for one copy of our educational video Problem?, including a teacher’s handbook and one copy of our HIV: Risky Business video. £20 enables a child infected/affected by HIV to go on a specialist residential overnight stay. £25 prints and distributes interactive worksheets for a class of 10 children. £30 enables us to send free resources to voluntary organisations that cannot afford to buy resources. £36 buys enough food to feed 50 -100 African children. £50 pays for essential school items and uniform for a child via the Hardship Project. £150 pays for a child's first bed via the Hardship Project. £150 buys nutritious ingredients to help feed vulnerable African children for a week. £200 provides a mother with essential items for her newborn baby via the Hardship Project. £200 pays for an external workshop facilitator to work with up 80 young in one day, delivering vital HIV & safe sex information. £400 enables a family of four to go on a family holiday together within the UK via the Respite Breaks Project.
