My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

As many of you know, I've visited Open Arms in Malawi for the last 4 years. I'm also hoping to go back just 2 days after the Race. I've seen for myself how money raised in the UK is used in Open Arms 1. With the opening of a second Childrens' Home last October, regular donations are even more vital. The average daily wage in Malawi is less than one dollar so money sent from the UK goes a long way out there!!!

My first experience of running outside was 7 weeks ago and I thought I might collapse foaming at the mouth!!! I'll be running for those little treasures who are now close to my heart! Thank you so much.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Open Arms Malawi 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.

So please sponsor me !
