Story

I have now run the London Marathon 2010!

Along with 36000 runners, a wonderful experience, great atmosphere, fantastic support.

My time was: 3 hrs 26 mins 22 secs!

Thanks so much to all of you for very generous support.  It is very much appreciated by me and by the One to one children's fund.  I will provide information and feedback about the charity work your money has supported


Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Its an opportunity to support a cause close to my heart, that of the plight of children in South Africa who suffer from HIV / AIDS.  On a previous fund raising challenge  a few years ago, I witnessed first hand the outstanding work of this charity supporting children with HIV / AIDS.  Thanks to One to One there is now a program in place to treat children with anti retroviral drugs, where none existed before.  The charity is also active in community projects including building a school, a creche, a preschool centre and playground in a squatter camp.

South Africa has the highest number of HIV sufferers in the world, some 5.2 million people in 2008 with 1/4 million deaths from AIDS in the same year.  This disease has had a devastating effect on many children and families throughout Africa, with many infected children also orphaned due to the AIDS epidemic. 

I appreciate the demands on your charity donations but I would very much value your support by donating to this very worthy cause.


Thanks again
