Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Please sponsor me and double the impact of your donations at no extra cost to you! That’s because I’m running in aid of CAFOD’s Lenten appeal and every pound donated to this will be matched by the UK government up to the value of £3.5m! Wow! 

£9 will buy soap for a family of nine to keep themselves, their clothes and their cooking utensils clean; but doubled, £18 will give the same family a life-saving hygiene kit that will keep the family free from disease!

This is my 3rd Marathon and it's a privilege to be able to Support a hard working charity like CAFOD while doing something I love.  CAFOD provide the support where it's needed and help people help themselves.

In addition, they campaign on important World issues like Climate Change and Poverty.  If our politicians could fix these things there would no longer be a need for these charities!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

About the charity

CAFOD works with local partners and communities across the world - responding to emergencies, promoting long-term development and raising public awareness of the causes of poverty. We work with people of all faiths and none for a safe, sustainable and peaceful world.
