Dear Friends (and potential sponsors),

On April 26th, I will be running the Flora London Marathon and thought it appropriate to use this as an opportunity to raise funds for Starfish Greathearts Foundation, a very special charity.

Starfish supports children who have been orphaned or made vulnerable by the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Southern Africa.  Please visit their website by going to www.starfishcharity.org to see what a tremendous job they do.

I would really appreciate your support, however modest.  You can help to make a world of difference to those less fortunate children.  They need food, shelter and education, even in the credit crunch.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Starfish gets your money faster and, if you’re a taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. Moreover, I will match your contribution, thereby effectively doubling the amount raised.

Thank you for your support.

Regards

Hendrik
