I am running the London Marathon to raise money for Talli's Fund - a fund set up in memory of Talli Jones, a 6th former at Seaford College, West Sussex.

The fund raises money for AfriKids, a cause very close to Talli's heart, as well as providing a financial award to help a 6th former at Seaford embark on similarly worthwhile work during their gap year.

AfriKids provides shelter and support for orphaned and outcast children in Northern Ghana.  It was little wonder that Talli was drawn to AfriKids.  She was renowned for being loving and loyal, looking after and caring for all those who came into her life.  Talli had wanted to spend her gap year working for AfriKids, but sadly, that was not to be.

Although her life was short, she had, in that time, created a huge impact, affecting all who knew her, and even those who didn't, me being one of those.

Please sponsor me and help AfriKids "BRING BIG SMILES TO LITTLE FACES" - something Talli would have loved to have done.

Donations through my fundraising page will go directly to AfriKids.

If you wish to make your donation to TALLI'S FUND, which will benefit both Afrikids and the financial award for a Seaford College 6th former, please forward cheques, made payable to Talli's Fund, to Annick Hollins, Woodside, Ladygate Drive, Grayshott, Surrey GU26 6DR.

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

So please sponsor me now!  Just remember - all you have to do is donate, I will do all the running!

Many thanks for your support.
