Yo....
Ok - probably the last time, my old-man knees will carry me around the 26.2 gruelling miles.
I am running for AKF this year and have a mammoth target to reach, but hope you'll be able to support this great cause.... Please do dig deep.....
I am raising sponsorship monies for the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) to build a brighter future for disadvantaged communities in developing countries primarily in South and Central Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. The Aga Khan Foundation supports social and economic development projects designed to benefit the poor without regard to race, gender, religion or political affiliation.
Proceeds will directly support communities with which the AKF is working in partnership. For more information on the work of AKF, please visit: www.akdn.org
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Aga Khan Foundation (United Kingdom) will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor me now!
Many thanks for your support.
