Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon · 12 October 2008 ·

At Book Aid International we share the power of books with millions of people globally. Every year we provide over 1 million brand new, carefully selected books to thousands of communities where people have very few opportunities to read, and work with our partners to support & establish libraries.

Story

I have now completed the Royal Parks Half Marathon, enjoying the sights and sounds of London and it's loveliest parks in the beautiful sunshine.

I am raising money for an important charity, Book Aid International, which sends books to children and adults in developing countries (mainly in sub-Saharan Africa) to improve literacy in many of the poorest communities.

Much of the charity's work involves helping to rehabilitate libraries in conflict and post-conflict situations, or in the wake of natural disasters. Book Aid also works outside Africa - current work is a programme in Palestine and a project in Sri Lanka in response to the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. Plus, if you are a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me!
