Welcome to Vicar on the Run - and thank you so much for visiting this page!  Would you please sponsor me online, on my eleventh visit to the Great North Run?  Money raised (apart from a small admin. charge by Justgiving) goes to Christian Aid for their relief and development work among some of the world's neediest people.  Just £7, for example, could buy a tap with its concrete basin bringing fresh water from a mountain spring to an arid village in Afghanistan.

Each year I am moved by people's generosity in response to such desperate need.  Any donation will be sincerely appreciated by Christian Aid (for whom I have done the Run every year since 1999), but the more generous you are, the greater difference we can make for some of the world's poorest people.

Giving through this site is totally secure, simple and fast - and the most efficient way to sponsor me.  Christian Aid will receive your money more quickly and, if you are a UK taxpayer, Justgiving make sure that Gift Aid is reclaimed on your donation (at least 25% extra at no additional cost to you).  Justgiving never pass on donors' details to others or send unwanted emails.

Thoughts and prayers from about 10.30 am on Sunday 20 September will be appreciated, as I trundle towards the coast once again.  With many thanks, and my best wishes.
