I'm doing my first marathon in Malawi, near the equator on 'challenging' terrain so I can raise money for Expand - a wonderful charity that has helped to build and  run schools for children in rural Malawi.  

The money I raise will help to pay for teachers and books, making a real difference to the lives of hundreds of children, so please do sponsor me to limp around for 26 miles in the baking sun! I’m covering all personal costs, so 100% of your donation will go to Expand. 

Many thanks!
