My story

Hello!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! On 12th July I am going to run the British 10k London Run for Ukuthasa, a UK-based charity that was established by some friends of mine - Gary and Nicky Welsh. Gary and Nicky visited post-apartheid South Africa in 1995 and were captivated by the country and its people. Overwhelmed by the poverty, deprivation and the horror of HIV/Aids they encountered, they gave up their jobs in the UK and moved to South Africa to build bridges with local communities - and to make a tangible difference.

Ukuthasa is working to bring about positive change in Africa and works alongside Non Government Organisations (NGO's) in the vital area of HIV/Aids education and counselling. The charity has joined forces with local groups to provide pre-school education and gives vital support to small businesses, providing much-needed employment. A few years ago I spent a month in South Africa working with a team to help refurbish a creche and pre-school, and looking after the children. It was an amazing and very humbling experience, and I know that any money you donate will be spent very wisely and will help a lot of people.

For more information on Ukuthasa you can visit their website www.ukuthasa.org

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Ukuthasa 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 sponsor me now!

Thank you very much - bring on the race!!!
