This year i'm running the Great North Run for traidcraft - a charity that aims to help communities in Africa through sustainable projects that encourage independence from aid and therefore really make a difference to the lives of many.

I'm aiming to raise much more than £300 but i'll start there to begin with....

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Traidcraft Exchange 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.

Many thanks for your support.
