Fundraising for Health Poverty Action - Find Your Feet
Story
Dear Friends
I will be taking part in the Virgin London Marathon on 25 April 2010 to raise money for Find Your Feet and I would really appreciate your support.
Find Your Feet makes a big difference to some of the world's poorest communities by helping them secure basic human rights - the right to food, clean water and a livelihood. Its programmes are based in India and Malawi. They are working together with over 31,000 poor and marginalised families living in rural India and Malawi to improve their harvests, set up small businesses and access to services like clean water, healthcare and education.
I have chosen to run for FYF again because they have a small, dedicated team of staff in the UK and are committed to managing all resources efficiently and keeping overheads to a minimum. Having run the London Marathon last year for Find Your Feet, I was able to witness that most of your donations actually do go to the people who need it and not in administration. To find out more about the work that FYF are doing, both in India and Malawi, please visit their website, www.fyf.org.uk
JustGiving sends your donation straight to Find Your Feet and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you're a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more. I hope you'll join me in supporting Find Your Feet.
May I thank you in advance in anticipation of your kind support both in my fundraising efforts and on the day.
Yours truly
Kiran D Patel
