Raising money for

Health Unlimited

Charity Registration No. 290535

Health Unlimited works with the world's poorest communities - those missing out on mainstream aid. We help mothers give birth safely and their children thrive, prevent the spread of diseases like HIV and malaria and challenge the injustices of poverty and poor health.

It is said that prevention is better than cure. That's why we believe in the power of education to stop health problems happening. Examples include our award-winning radio soaps educating people on issues such as HIV (one of which has become the most popular radio show in East Africa).

Poverty and poor health are inseparable. Our comprehensive approach strengthens health services and addresses underlying causes of poor health such as water, sanitation and nutrition. At the same time we campaign to change the systems that perpetuate poverty. We want to 'cure' the lack of healthcare - not just stick a plaster over the problem.

My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page and thanks to everyone who has sponsored me so far.

Most of you will have heard that I injured my back the week before the New York Marathon and had to withdraw. However, thanks to Health Unlimited I have been able to transfer my place to the London Marathon on 26 April.

My training is going well and I ran in the Bath Half Marathon on 15 March to add to the Great North Run in October last year. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an injury free completion to my training ahead of London.

I am aiming to raise at least £1000 for Health Unlimited. 93% of the amount raised will go directly to fund health projects in some of the poorest and disadvantaged parts of the world.

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