Story

<p>Thank you for visiting our page!</p> <p>Tim, Chris and James are running the Edinburgh Half Marathon for Scottish Love in Action. The charity is based in Edinburgh and cares for over 560 destitute children in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. This is done by funding two projects: a Home &amp; School in the coastal town of Tuni and a Home in the state capital Hyderabad. The children's ages range from infants to eighteen years old. This charity gives them a start in life with the opportunites which they otherwise wouldn't have.</p> <p>Tim and James travelled to India almost a year ago and have first hand experience of the poverty that so many of the children live in. It is truly a wonderful cause and we hope that by pushing ourselves to actually run a half marathon we can raise some money to help those who live in such poverty.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
