My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many people are aware I have decided to run the London Marathon this year comprsing of 26miles which equals 42km. I have never done a competitive run this far before and I am enjoying the challenge. 

The charity I am running for is the Zambia Society Trust.

http://www.zambiasocietytrust.org.uk/aboutus.htm .

It is a British-registered charity devoted to helping the poor especially orphans,to promote health,education and to help them attain better skills in life. The Zambia Society supports a wide range of projects in Zambia. Many of the projects we support provides pratical help for the orphans and other vunerable children, including those whose parents or surviving parent are unable to care for them. One of the projects is called a "Seeds" project which gives them the knowledge of how to grow their own vegetables and also provide them with basic schooling. The society itself is made up of entirely volunteers so has little or no overheads.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
