Thank you for visting my JustGiving page.

On April the 18th, I will be running in the historic Boston Marathon, the oldest mass participation marathon in the world. 

I feel so lucky to have been able to achieve the qualifying time necessary to enter this special race. Like many people I have been shocked by the devastation In Japan and I would like to help by supporting the Red Cross Tsunami Appeal. I was a member of the British Red Cross as a child and as such I would like to support the humanatarian work that they do:

"The Japanese Red Cross has been on the ground since the disaster began and has sent 230 response teams to provide first aid and emergency healthcare, as well as distributing relief items. The teams are made up of more than 1,200 staff, including doctors and nurses.

The costs of the relief effort, and of rebuilding the homes and lives of those affected, will be immense. Donations to the British Red Cross will be used towards helping the Japanese people recover from this devastating natural disaster over the coming months and years."

Please Sponsor me in my run to help the people of Japan

Thank you

Patricia
