My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I have been offered a place to run the London Marathon in 2008 for a charity called African Revival. This is a UK-based charity providing aid and hope through self-sustaining projects in rural districts in Sudan, Uganda & Malawi.The project in particular that I will be raising funds for is the Grace Christian Academy (GCA), in Gulu, Northern Uganda.

The Acholi people of Northern Uganda have suffered the consequences of rebel insurgency for the past 20 years. More than 20 000 children have been kidnapped and forced to join the rebels.

GCA was established in 1985 and receives no funding from the Ugandan government. It aims to care and educate children that have lost one or both parents through the war or HIV / Aids. Currently it offers education to 970 children from Nursery through to Primary level. Your support will help provide salaries to the teaching and support staff as well as providing the children with a mid-day meal. This is often their only meal of the day.  

So please sponsor me as I huff and puff my way through the Marathon and know that your contribution is helping a really worthwhile cause.

Many thanks for your support.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: African Revival will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
