Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I  am running the Great North Run in September this year and I really would like your help in raising money for CAFOD. This will be my first race of this distance; my only previous running event was a 5km Fun Run some 20 years ago, so it will be a painful journey! I believe that we can make a difference and change people's lives all over the world! Your sponsorship, however great or small, will help CAFOD to reach more people.

Your sponsorship money means CAFOD can continue to make sure that help reaches the people who need it most around the world. CAFOD's work overseas involves: responding to disasters; helping people to help themselves; tackling the HIV and AIDS pandemic in poor communities; working towards peace and reconciliation in conflict situations; and challenging the root causes of poverty.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Catholic Agency For Overseas Development 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!

Thank you for your support.
