Thanks for visiting my page! I'm running my first half marathon (yikes...) this Sunday for Starfish Greathearts Foundation.
Starfish was formed in response to the unfolding tragedy of children orphaned or left vulnerable by the HIV/AIDS pandemic in South Africa. Their mission is to help make a difference to the lives of these children, one child at a time.
They invest in the futures of thousands of children across South Africa by providing community-based organisations with knowledge, financial resources and training. Their support is flexible and can be adapted by the projects themselves. This enables individual communities to develop their own solutions to the challenges they face.
Starfish is currently reaching more than 36,000 children in 120 communities across South Africa (January 2009). Any support on the day would be much appreciated! The route takes in Hyde Park, Green Park and St James' Park and there's a "food & fitness festival" running all day. Mind you, hopefully I'll be done by 11.30 and it is a Sunday...
