Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've only gone and signed up for a marathon! 

I'm running for a cause which is very close to my family's heart, Shuktara Trust UK. Shuktara was set up by David Earp, a family friend and provides homes for children and young people with disabilities in India. 

Many of shuktara’s young people have suffered terrible hardship and discrimination. Because of their disabilities they were written off as incapable of learning, developing as individuals or integrating into society.

Now that there is a home for the boys and the girls, there are no plans to expand shuktara. Instead, David’s vision is that the residents have the security of a family home for life, which can never be taken away from them. To do this, shuktara relies on the kindness of its supporters to meet the on-going running costs – including food, clothing, household bills and school fees.
