Flora London Marathon 2009 · 26 April 2009 ·

READ International addresses the lack of educational resources in schools in Tanzania, creating libraries and supporting young people in skills and capacity development. To date we have sent 1.5 millions books to East Africa and created 94 secondary school libraries.

Story

Hi folks,

Once again I'm running the London Marathon, and yes, once again I'm looking for sponsorship. I'm running for READ International, who deliver collaborative, student led initiatives to improve access to education across the world and increase youth participation in the global community.

I have to admit I've entered rather late this year, and have rather a lot of catching up to do on the training front, but with your support I am determined to run a decent time and not completely cripple myself in the process.

thanks very much

NEWS FLASH
I made it - 4 hours and 1 really annoying minute. Not my greatest run but I wasn't very well so on the whole pleased enough. The big THANK YOU is to all of you who were so generous in sponsoring me - with the gift aid added on, READ will be about £2500 better off. Right, now to the Virgin Marthon site - let's hope it doesn't crash again
