Dear friends and family

I am running another half-marathon for Child-to-Child a) to keep me fit and b) to keep raising money for my cause.

This time I have swapped the urban surroundings of the Royals Parks for the leafy suburbs of London and will be heading off to St. Albans on Sunday 14 June to take part in an 'undulating' half-marathon. Given the hills I am once again going to aim for my Royals Parks time of 1hr 45mins.

So I know I have asked you recently for donations and I know it is the credit crunch but what more can I say other than that there are so many more children out there, much less fortunate than we were, we when we grew up. At the beginning of February I travelled to Ethiopia to visit our 'Getting Ready of School' Programme and I was amazed to see the enthusiasm and determination of the children involved. They really had nothing to work with, some hardly knew how to hold a pencil, they were so unfamiliar to them, can you imagine? Our money does make a difference, by giving children confidence and self esteem in their lives and by equipping them with life-saving knowledge to help safeguard their health and development.

Just £5 or £10 would be fantastic, really all you can spare. By donating through justgiving the admin costs are kept low and almost all of the money comes to us.
