Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
I am running the Shell Chester half marathon on Sunday 18 May in aid of Oxfam (a half marathon is 13 miles, my target time is 2.5 hours) I have chosen this cause because Oxfam is a vibrant global movement dedicated to fighting for an end to poverty and suffering worldwide. Why fight poverty? It’s a basic question, but a good one. Why does Oxfam bother? Why put so much energy into saving lives, campaigning for change, and developing projects to give people more control over their future? The answer is basic too. Belief – belief that in a wealthy world poverty is unjustifiable, and can be prevented. Belief that injustice must be challenged. And belief that with the right help, poor people themselves can change their lives for the better, for good. Everyone has the right to a life worth living – and to the basic things that make one possible.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Oxfam will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor me now!
Many thanks for your support.
