Raising money for

Concern Worldwide, England & Wales

Charity Registration No. 1092236

Concern Worldwide is an international humanitarian organisation dedicated to reducing suffering and ending extreme poverty. Since the beginning, over 40 years ago, our focus has been on improving the lives of the poorest people.

To achieve our mission we work in developing countries where our programmes comprise both long term development work and responses to emergency situations. We also seek to address the root causes of poverty through our advocacy and development education work.

Concern Worldwide works in 28 of the poorest countries around the world. Last year alone, we worked directly with ten million people to find long-term solutions to extreme poverty.

Concern focuses on five key programme areas: Emergency Response, Health and Nurtition, HIV/AIDS, Livelihood Security and Education. We work directly with poor communities, asking them what would be the greatest long term improvements to their lives.

My story

So why the London marathon?

It seemed like a good idea at the time ... and it's something I've been thinking about doing for a little while now. Finishing is the main goal, however it would also be dandy to not be overtaken by someone in a chicken suit ...

But it's not just for me actually. I'll be running for a charity called Concern who I have supported for some time now. They do good work in the poorest areas of the world helping people who probably can't even comprehend running for fun because they are simply trying to survive. So a little bit of my pain for their gain is more than reasonable.

And this is the reason for attempting to raise £3000 through this justgiving page. All the money will go directly to Concern so they can continue their good work. So please give generously!

And now for the official money type stuff for those still reading:

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Concern Worldwide England & Wales gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
