My story

 
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
My next challenge is the Marathon des Sables, described as the "Toughest footrace on earth". In March 2009 I will be running 150 miles over 6/7 days in the Sahara Desert. As there are no Tescos I will have to carry everything I need with me! The longest day will be a 50 mile run and as the temperature is likely to be over 40 C this will be an enormous challenge.
Can you rise to the challenge and generously sponsor me to help children who face a lifelong challenge having been orphaned.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Working For The Children Of Watamu 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.

So please sponsor me now!

Here's another "goats-worth". Best of luck - enjoy! Donation by Ruth p 09/03/09
