Running this half marathon will be my first attempt to train for anything physical. To apply more pressure I've linked my legs to a charity: mothers2mothers.

I know there are a lot of charities to donate to but I believe in supporting my women world wide, in places I've never been. mothers2mothers is a charity that focus on mothers and pregnant women who are HIV positive. HIV is not hereditary and can be prevented from passing from mother to child. The organisation prioritises these families and provides support in their communities where there is a lot of stigma attached to those carrying the disease.

This wonderful charity works closely with brave women and families to help prevent HIV and AIDS from spreading to children. Please support me in my run to raise money for mothers2mothers.
