Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am 'running South Africa' to raise money for the St. James's Place Charitable Foundation who support the Hospice Movement, people of all ages with cancer, and children and young people with special needs.

Instead of celebrating my 50th birthday in South Africa as originally planned, I've set myself the challenge to 'virtually' run through parts of the country before the end of April.

Between the 1st March and the 30th April, I'm running 240 kilometres (150 miles) on my 2021 Virtual South Africa Run Challenge around my local area of the South Lakes. Although using the power of virtual maps and Google Street View, I can track my progress through the vibrant streets of Cape Town before finishing my challenge at the top of Table Mountain.

As Moore Wealth is a partner practice of St. James's Place Wealth Management, they will generously match - pound for pound - any money I raise and donate this to the St. James's Place Charitable Foundation.

Over the last 12 months, Covid has curtailed many normal fundraising events for charities, so it is more important than ever to support them during these difficult times.

Any amount you can spare would mean the world to me, and thank you for taking the time to read my story.
