I invite your support in connection with my participation ('for the first and last time') in the Great North Run! JDC must surely rate as one of the most effective movements for the relief of poverty and oppression in history, if the almost ludicrous contrast
between the magnitude of its impact and the miniscule scale of its budget is taken into account. The campaign is already benefiting some of the most impoverished countries by billions of pounds each year. "Let me commend the tremendous work you are doing", wrote President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of Liberia to JDC.
