Virgin London Marathon 2012 · 22 April 2012 ·

Fairtrade has changed the lives of over a million farmers and workers in the developing world. But there are many more still getting a bad deal from international trade. Support us and bring Fairtrade to more farmers, workers and their families, so that they too can work their own way out of poverty

Story

No, it isn't a typo, I am actually in London 2012! Ok, so it isn't quite the sporting event of the year, but it was the sporting event of my year and probably my entire life so I really appreciate your support. 

I've been a supporter of Fairtrade for years, and have been lucky enough to visit some of the excellent work they do in developing countries, developing trade standards that give producers a much better deal for their products. 

I want to raise money for the Fairtrade Foundation so that they can continue with this really important work. I've set a target of £1,220, which is £2 for each mile I ran in training and the marathon itself.

UPDATE - I completed the marathon! Words can't really describe the feeling! It was really hard and painful but everyone's support got me through it - you are all AMAZING! 

I haven't quite reached my target, so any donations towards this are very welcome! 

Thanks so much for supporting me in any way you can, this really does mean a lot to me!
