Story

<p>Tackle Africa are an amazing Charity that works in sub-Saharan Africa to provide HIV and Aids Education through the medium of football for young people. Sub-Saharan Africa is the part of the world most affected by HIV and AIDS and it is estimated that 10 million people aged 15-24 are living with HIV worldwide. Tackle Africa don't just provide money. They go to Africa and teach local football coaches how to run courses and provide education for young people, they leave a clear legacy and revisit previous projects time and time again.&nbsp;Tackle Africa employ only two full time staff, everyone else volunteers. They desperately need funds to carry on the good work they are doing.</p> <p>I am not a natural long distance runer. This is going to hurt a lot, I won't break any speed records and I'll probably cry so please donate whatever you can!!</p> <p>Thanks,&nbsp;Kate xx</p> <p>PS Let me know your ultimate running tunes!!</p>
