Dear Friends,

I have, in haste, signed myself up to run the London Marathon. As you may be aware, I do not share the physique and stamina as many of my Kenyan co-runners.

I am raising funds for OneCause. This charity believes that education is the answer to poverty. Having lived in Kenya for most of my childhood and returning home recently, I can see the positive effect of education. I am a firm believer that education transforms lives. OneCause has sponsored 2 schools - one in Uganda and one in India. 

Please click on the link for more details- http://www.onecauseuk.org. Many of you support multiple charities but a small donation to OneCause would go along way.

I would like to limit the amount each of you donates. I ask, if at all possible, that you kindly consider donating £2 (Kenya Shillings 280) per member of your family. In addition, I would ask you to forward this message to 3 friends who may consider making a £2 donation to this cause. I hope they too will continue to send this message to 3 more friends and so on.

To donate, please click on the justgiving site  (https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/1-pound) or Mpesa me on 0738832163 (Ranee Nanji) directly.

My target for this marathon is to raise £2000 from 1000 individuals.

Thank you for all your support. It is very much appreciated.

Shritesh Nanji
