My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Yes, yet again I'm running London - I must be mad - this will be my ninth !

If you are able, I'd be really grateful if you could sponsor me to help the children of the Baan Tharn Nanchai Orphanage in Thailand. The orphanage provides a wonderful home for 60 children orphaned after the 2004 Tsunami.

Having raised funds to build two orphanages, we at Hands Across The Water are now trying to raise £30,000 this year to build two bungalows at the orphanage in Takua Pa, so that volunteers will be able to live actually onsite at the orphanage rather than in local hotels. In this way more money can go the children so they can get the best possible care.

For more details about the charity please log on to www.handsacrossthewater.org.uk or watch a slideshow of our progress over the past 4 years at www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgBc4HEZgIM

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Hands Across the Water gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Please sponsor me if you can and thanks for your support.
