Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
It's been at least 5 years since I ran 10k and training has been difficult to say the least (and rudely interrupted for 6 weeks to recover from a bad fall!) So I will need every encouragement possible to get round the course in two weeks! I'd love to raise some money to make the pain worth while - so please consider popping me a couple of quid to spur me on xx
This year I'm raising money for Be One Percent which is a charity that I have been involved with for a few years now. EVERY single penny raised will go to a different cause each month - buying malaria nets, installing safe water and sanitation, meals for children, solar panels for rural hospitals or simply bikes for rural communities so nurses can visit families. All running costs for the charity are covered by businesses so you can feel good knowing that your donation will have a real impact.
Please find out more:
Be One Percent is a charity on a mission to end extreme poverty through one simple idea: people give 1% of their income to help the world’s poorest communities. Businesses cover the running costs meaning that all member donations fund monthly projects focusing on basic needs like clean water, school meals and health care in the developing world. Be One Percent has raised over £400,000 so far, providing over 2 million school meals to children in Malawi and Liberia and protecting more than 30,000 people against malaria with insecticide nets. With your help Be One Percent can change and save more lives - so please show your support and join the giving revolution! Find out more at www.beonepercent.org
