Story

Mainly thanks to peer pressure and a will to loose a few pounds, I have somehow been persauded to run the Manchester Marathon. Considering a few months ago I had never seriously run before this is probably a terrible idea. However training is going well and I hope to complete it on the day!

How to run for was an obvious choice. Kenyan Orphan Project has been a large part of my life now for the past few years and it would be awesome to raise as much money as possible. This money is put to great use to fund schools, night shelters and food shelters in Kisumu in western Kenya, a region with one of the highest prevelances of HIV in the world. 

So please give generously! Thanks very much

Alex
