Raising money for

Cecily's Fund

Charity Registration No. 1071660

Cecily’s Fund helps Zambian children, who have been orphaned or made vulnerable as a result of HIV and AIDS, to get an education. Education is one of the most effective weapons in the battle against HIV– it gives children vital information, support from teachers and friends and skills to help them earn a living after school. We enable over 8,000 children to go to school by providing uniforms, shoes, books, pens and other equipment, and paying school and exam fees. Once they graduate, we help some of them train as teachers and peer health educators so they can pass on life-giving education to thousands more youngsters. For more information see our website www.cecilysfund.org.

My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

The challenge

Rather than asking for sponsorship for each event, I am asking everyone if they would like to make a one-off donation. I will be taking part in the following events:

1. Brighton "Superheroes" 10km run (17 May 2009) DONE - 45 mins
2. Sprint Triathlon, New Forest (14 June 2009) DONE - 1hr 33 mins
3. Olympic Triathlon, Worthing (16 August 2009) DONE - 2hr 33 mins
4. Triathlon, (location and date tbc)

The charity

I am raising money for Cecily's Fund, which supports children in Zambia, where I was born. Already one in five of all Zambian children are orphans. Many orphans cannot afford to go to school, but education is vital if they are to have a better future. Cecily's Fund supports the education of around 11,000 Zambian AIDS orphans and vulnerable children. Education gives them hope, self-respect and life skills, including an understanding of how to avoid HIV and AIDS.

Your money will go to improve the lives of children whose existence thus far has been a bleak one. It allows them to go to school and make a better future for themselves. It costs just £25 to send a child to primary school for a year and £50 to secondary school. For more info: http://www.cecilysfund.org/index.html

For those who are interested in knowing how much pain I will be going through the triathlon distances are as follows:
Sprint - 750m swim, 25km bike, 6 km run
Olympic - 1.5km swim, 40km ride, 10km run.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cecily's Fund 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.

So please sponsor me now!
