Story

Hey! Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

You may be aware that I am going to Mumbai in March for four months to work with a charity called 'Oasis' on a project called the 'Aruna Project'. The project works alongside women caught in the commercial sex industry; befriending them, providing vocational skills and supporting their children. 

As you will see by the Event title I had planned to run a half marathon in order to raise money to give to the project when I go out there in March. Unfortunately I sustained a knee injury and much to my disappointment was unable to complete the run. However, on the 14th March I completed the 3 elements of a triathlon consisting of a mile swim, 18 mile bike ride and a 7 mile walk. 

If you would like to sponsor me following our efforts please do so online so as to enable you to gift aid your donation if you are a tax payer.

(Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Tearfund 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.)

Thank you!
