Hey everyone!
Thanks for visiting this page. If you can spare a few moments to have a read of this text, and consider sponsering me for the Great North Run, id really appreciate it!
On the 5th October 2008, im going to be running the Great North Run, which is a half marathon (im not quite man enough for a full one!!) through the streets of Newcastle. Ive done it a few times before, and its great fun, but also an amazing opportunity to raise some money for charity.
Im going to be running for 'Hand in Hand', which is a christian charity close to my heart that works in South America, and Africa, working incredibly hard to end the cycles of poverty and injustice that are so rife in the regions they are active in.
The money you give will go directly to projects which aim to povide food, clean water, health care, education, safe places to play, and much more for disadvantaged kids. This often impacts the childrens families too.
They are an incredible organisation, which would really benefit from your support, and I would really love for you to consider whether you would be willing to sponser me for the run.
'Just giving' provides an easy and convenient way to get the money directly to 'Hand in Hand'. Its totally secure, and also gives Hand in Hand the opportunity to claim back tax on your gift if you are a UK taxpayer.
Thanks for reading, and thank you also on behalf of Hand in Hand. If you would like to know more about Hand in Hand as a charity, please check out their website http://www.hihand.org :o)
