Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

The news is that I made it around - thanks to your incredible generosity.  Not the fastest time - 3hrs 56 something ...And I take my hat off to everyone who completes a marathon.  Tought stuff!  But for those who are still keen to support a wonderful project - do read on below....

 

The Hope Centre Burundi is a simply incredible work, it is ethical, provides work for local people, teaches new skills, and is providing homes and hope for orphans.

           

Building this orphanage has been spearheaded by a couple from Westhill Aberdeen, Charles and Val Carr who gave up their jobs, sold their house and moved with their 4 children to manage the building process.  Further work is continuing to complete the remaining houses - another £36,000 needed. 

These children will have a future because someone like us cares.  These children represent a hope for Burundi's future

Do visit their webpage http://www.hopecentreburundi.com/ , you can meet the children who live there, enjoy the pictures of smiling faces and appreciate the scale of the work completed to date. 

Just a little makes a huge amount to these folk - I would love to reach a target of £2000 in just 5 days or so before the marathon, so anything you give to help would be great.
