Hi all.
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page where you can STILL sponsor my British 10K London Run on behalf of Action for Brazil's Children Trust (www.abctrust.org.uk), which took place on Sunday, July 6. I've reached my personal fundraising target but ABC still needs lots of support so please feel free to sponsor me as the funds will all go straight back to the kids of Brazil who need it most.
You've all inspired me to finish the race through the streets of London in 60 minutes with energy and enthusiasm to spare! Surprised myself after hardly any training and way too much smoking over the past 15 years! And the best news is, my sponsors alone have so far raised enough money to cover the running costs and teaching materials for one of the ABC Trust's projects for a whole year!! Thank you so much!
I was fortunate to visit the projects of ABC Trust in the favelas of Rio, Brazil in February, and was amazed and inspired by the incredible work being done for the children there under difficult & dangerous circumstances by a very passionate and loving group of people. I hope you are able to make even a small donation, which will go a long way in helping these children. Check out the video on the left to learn more about ABC Trust.
Here is what your donation can do:
| £20 pays for food and shelter for one child for a week who would otherwise be living on the street |
| |
| £50 pays for a visit to the dentist for 25 children |
| |
| £100 pays for the salary of a teacher or psychologist for a month |
| |
| £250 provides school teaching materials for a class of 50 for a year |
| |
| £1000 pays for running costs for 12 months for one of ABC's project partners - electricity, telephone, water and stationery |
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Action For Brazil's Children Trust 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.
Thank you again!!
