For one year only I am running/crawling the London Marathon (all 26.2 miles of it!) and I really need your help to make all the hard work worthwhile. The many hours spent pounding the streets in the rain, sleet, snow, general awfulness that is British weather is to help raise money for FARM-Africa.

FARM-Africa works at a grassroots level with rural communities in easternAfrica, providing long term solutions to poverty. By working with farmers and herders to introduce new and innovative ways to increase food production and manage natural resources, they aim to improve food security in a sustainable way.

Having spent six months living, working and travelling in eastern Africa during my gap year I really do know what a big difference this money could make.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: FARM-Africa 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, please dig deep and sponsor me!!

Thank you, Lizzie x
