Veronica Oakeshott is raising money for Cecily's Fund
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

British 10k London Run 2008 · 6 July 2008 ·

Since 1998 Cecily's Fund has transformed the lives of thousands of the most vulnerable children in Zambia by enabling them to go to school. Education gives them a ladder out of the destitution to which they are otherwise condemned. Tragically Cecily died there in her gap year. This is her legacy.

Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

I am running ten whole kilometres to raise money to help orphans and vulnerable children in Zambia to go to school. The money will go to Cecily's Fund, a fantastic charity I used to work for. You can find out all about it on www.cecilysfund.org

It would be great if you could sponsor me or even better join me and run too! I have run ten kilometres before, but that was back in the day when I was a lithe athlete (ahem...). I'm sorry to say that these days I am not well acquainted with my gym kit and I can assure you that this will be no picnic!

The thought of your support will certainly spur me on!

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

Thanks! xx V
