One World Action

Charity Registration No. 1022298

One World Action is an international development agency and registered charity. We work with local partners in developing countries across Africa, Latin America and Asia to ensure that marginalised people have a voice in the decisions that shape their lives. We provide funding, training and capacity building, while challenging unjust international policies on aid and trade. We link our partners together and support them in speaking directly to decision makers because people are always their own best advocates.

My story

2009 is the year that I run the London Marathon! This is going to be the biggest physical challenge of my life.

But more importantly, I am running to raise money for One World Action, who challenge international policies that make and keep women and men poor. This charity and the work that they do is something I truly believe in.

In 2007, I travelled through Central America and saw widespread poverty and massive inequality, and vowed that I would do something to help.

I visited South Africa in 2008 and saw further examples of the inequalities, lack of human rights, poverty and hunger in the world, which further spurred me on,

Now I have the opportunity to do something good and help the world and the people who live in it, and as far as I am concerned the sky is the limit from here.

I am currently hoping for sub-4 hours. Injury permitting!

* ON March 31st I ran from 9 to 5 across London Bridge, back and forth. I covered more than 50 miles. Surely that shows how much I believe in this cause - it must be worth a few quid, no? :-) *

PLEASE sponsor me !!!
