Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I'm running the Brighton and London Marathons in April and the Berlin Marathon in September for LED - a charity I saw in action first hand when I travelled to Peru in 2012. (www.lighteducationdevelopment.org) 

While in Peru I met the founder of LED (our trekking guide, Val) who established the charity to provide low tech and sustainable solutions to three basic needs to remote villages in the high mountain villages of the Cordillera Blanca and the HuayHuash mountains of Peru and the Manaslu region of Nepal: cheap affordable lighting, basic education, and healthcare.

They are things we take for granted and yet are in scarce supply in many parts of the world. The provision of these basic supplies betters the lives and aids the economic development of the adults and children who live and work in these otherwise isolated mountain settlements.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
