Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm running the Royal Parks half marathon in October, and raising funds for a charity close to many South Africans' hearts.

The Starfish Greathearts Foundation supports children orphaned or vulnerable in South Africa and helping to improve their lives.

Children have no choice what environment they are born into. Some are born into a world of privilege and some are born into a world of poverty - often I have to remind myself that I grew up in a home where I was safe, where I was fed when I was hungry, I went to school and university, and had many more opportunities that others haven't had.

I'd like to support the Startfish Foundation as they endeavour to help children in South Africa feel valued, protected and empowered to realise their dreams - please help me do this.
