Nice Half Marathon · 31 March 2009

We raise money to fund bursaries to pay secondary school fees (which every child has to pay in Swaziland) and to improve school facilities in areas of unemployment and poverty, by building kitchens, classrooms, toilets etc. Our target each year is £10k for bursaries and £30k for building projects.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.  I completed the Nice Half Marathon (that's Nice, France, not just a nice one) on Sunday 19th April 2009 along with ten other mad women from the Banbridge hinterland.    I was very happy with my time of 1hr 57min 30secs in very warm weather.   To see my sprint finish you can check out photos at    http://www5.marathon-photos.com/scripts/event_entry.py?job=Sports%2FCPUK%2F2009%2FNice%20Semi%20Marathon  and put in number 2743

Thanks to everyone who sponsored me.  Almost £1500 raised will be going to the  Swaziland Schools Project which will go towards building a domestic science unit in a primary school in Enkhaba in the North of Swaziland. 

This charity was set up by John Tibbs, my friend Sara's Dad.   You can have a look at some of their work at http://swazilandschoolsprojects.org/home.html
