Having only just finished the New York Marathon on the 1st of November 2009, I found out I was accepted in the London marathon. The obvious thing for me to do is to continue my training and continue my support to Meir Panim.With over £7350.00 raised, I want to hit the magic ten thousand pounds. It will help so many people. What an accomplishment!!Meir Panim (in Hebrew: 'to bring a smile to someone's face') is the largest supplementary welfare services agency in Israel. It was established in 2001 to provide practical solutions to the problems faced by Israelis living in poverty. Meir Panim distributes food shopping cards, resembling credit/oyster cards, which are used as a gift card at major food chain stores all over Israel.The card is worth £36 of groceries (excluding alcohol and cigarettes) each month. This innovayive project allows Meir Panim to provide food for needy individuals on a new level, while preserving their self respect, especially for those who are uncomfortable being seen accepting charity.£36.00 is all it takes to make a huge difference to someones life!
