Having spent the last few months on a confusing quest for full-time employment, there has fortunately been one clear task to keep me sane: asking all of you for money! Not for contribution to the depleted bank of Erin, but for the fantastic event that is the Virgin London Marathon! Yes, I will be hurtling down the streets of London for a whopping 26.2 miles, and all in the name of sexual health! Interact Worldwide is working hard to provide sexual and reproductive health to young people in developing countries. This is extremely important, and in light of the recent atrocities in India I think you would agree that educating and offering sexual and reproductive health, rights and services to young people should be universal.

So I am asking you all; family, friends, friends of friends and anyone I don't know who stumbles across this website, to donate a little (or a lot!) to a very good cause. The world would be a better place if everyone was having safe, healthy and informed/educated sex, and I will certainly be running that much faster on race day knowing you have all helped me raise the money!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now, and THANK YOU ALL.
