Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Orphans Know More is a charity that is very dear to my heart, working in partnership with the most amazing group of people in Uganda to support 150 HIV/AIDS orphans and vulnerable children.

Orphans Know More have set out to:

  • Increase the standard of living for these families
  • Ensure that all children are able to attend school, have appropriate nutritional intake, and live in adequate housing
  • Guarantee that all children who are unwell with HIV/ AIDS or other ailments are receiving the treatment they require
  • Give 100% of money raised directly into these areas as well as funding a local social worker to assess the needs of the children and the care they are receiving

To raise funds to support this work I am aiming to run 100 miles of competitive races during the course of 2008. This will include 5 half marathons, 4 10 mile runs, 3 10k runs and over 500 miles of training runs.

I would be so grateful if you were able to sponsor me. For every donation made I will donate an equivalent amount so for each £1 you give, £2.50 (incl Gift Aid) will go straight to help children in Africa.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Orphans Know More 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 so much for your support!
