Hey! Please help me raise money for TASK Brasil, a charity that works with abandoned street children in Rio De Janeiro. I'm hoping to travel to Brazil in August and work with the children, teenagers and young mums involved in the project for three months. To take part I need to raise a thousand pounds, which goes towards providing accomodation, food & schooling for the young people, as well as running educational, cultural and income generating programs for their development.

To raise money for TASK Brasil & its projects, I will be running a half marathon in Canberra (Australian Capital Territory) on Monday 9th June. I have committed at least half this amount from money I've saved while in Australia, so anything I can raise through sponsorship would be much appreciated.

Task Brasil will receive your money directly and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many many thanks for your support! Best wishes, Jess xx
