Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am excited to be running the Edinburgh Marathon for Oxfam. I am hoping to raise at least £600 pounds  but hopefully much more.

As some as you may know I have travelled around the world for a number of years and seeing the world is my greatest passion in life. I have had the opportunity to see many wonderful places, meet fantastic people and gain a greater perspective on life. 

I have met people who struggle to eat or have access to basic ammenities such as clean water or medical aid. I have met women and children with no access to education or rights that I take for granted. I have seen communities devastated by natural disasters and wars.

These people are still filled with life. They offer friendly smiles and a simpler way of living. I have often been welcomed into their homes and treated like a queen. They have fed me and shared with me their stories and customs. I have even been helped with food and transport when I have had my credit cards lost or I was lost.  I have always been treated with kindness.

This is why I want to raise money for Oxfam, who fight to erdicate poverty, respond to emergencies and campaign for positive change. Everyone deserves the right to basic ammenities, education and the right to earn a decent living.
