Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.
When the Boxing Day tsunami struck south-east Asia, Harrow School had a cricket team playing in Galle, one of the worst affected towns in Sri Lanka. Soon after, the School established a relief fund through the Harrow Development Trust. In the past 20 months we have raised over £400,000 and supported some urgent relief projects. Among these has been the complete rebuilding and improvement of Vidyaloka College nearby the city centre which was flooded and destroyed. It has now been totally rebuilt. The funds we are raising in Long Ducker on 5th November will pay the final bills and enable the school to purchase IT equipment and computers.
For further information, please go the Harrow Tsunami wesbite, http://tsunamirelieffund.harrowschool.org.uk/html/
On 5 November I am coming out of athletic retirement and taking part in the annual Harrow charity run called Long Ducker. Please sponsor me for my 10-mile effort!
Please send me a cheque or use this webpage. It is the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Harrow Development Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor me now! Using this webpage will automatically make your donation qualify as Gift Aid, and enable me to increase the sum raised by 28p in every £1.00.
Many thanks for your support.
