*** Thanks to all who have donated - we've made it to £1500!! ***

Despite the heat I managed to drag myself around the 26.2m course in 4h 50m - which was great! Resting now...

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I'm running the marathon on April 17th 2011, and have decided to raise money for the Brighter Future International Trust.

I first became aware of Brighter Future last year when a friend visited their various projects in Vizianagaram. This organisation provides works in the poorest areas of India providing care, training and support to sufferers of TB, leprosy, HIV/AIDS, and severe poverty. There is an acute need to help these people because they are unable to access government health care or education due to severe poverty and discrimination against them.

Your donation will make a massive different to men, women and children who have no other help, so please dig deep and donate now.

For more information on Brighter Future, click the link on the left hand side of my page.
