Story

<p>Hi, thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I am running the London Marathon on 22 April 2012 (so what, you may say, you've done it before, no big deal etc...). That was 9 years ago, before my beautiful bubs came along and when my age began with a 3 !!</p> <p>My challenge is twofold, partly to see if i can be as fit at forty as i was at thirty, and partly to raise money for the Children's Ark Project. The Children's Ark Project was founded by a fantastic lady called Ruthie Akainyah, who runs Elena's (and previously Tom's) nursery. She plans to take her expertise over to Rwanda, to build a Montessori nursery, primary school and adult education centre along with a community clinic and farm. So far CAP has raised enough funds to buy the land needed and is hoping to raise &pound; 12,000 for building work to begin in the summer. Please support them if you can, all donations however large or small will be gratefully received.</p> <p>Thank you again and please feel free to come and cheer me on on 22 April!!</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 Children's Ark Project 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 CAP. Remember to tick Gift Aid if you are eligible!</p> <p>cheers</p> <p>Jill</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
