Hi Guys!
Just to let you know that I will be running the London Marathon on 17th April 2011. I will be raising money again for Chengelo School in Zambia. I am hoping to complete the race in 3 hours 50 mins....... I thought I would run a sweepstake for my time - when you donate, if you put down the time in hrs/mins & seconds in which you think I will complete the Marathon & I will give a bottle of champagne to whoever gets the closest time!
Chengelo is a Christian school which started over 20 years ago, set up by a core of 3 farmers in Mkushi, including my Uncle David. They had an amazing vision which has provided thousands of children now with a top class education, and a sound Christian moral grounding. The hope is that many of these children will become the future leaders of Zambia and the wider African continent. The Chengelo Educational Trust provides grants for children to attend Chengelo, who otherwise would not be able to.
The outdoor centre, Ndubaluba, with the motto "never, never, never give up" has the most amazing facilities, and is accessible to children from all over Zambia. They come here to learn about themselves, conquer their fears, boost their confidence and learn the importance of the outdoors and the environment.
Please have a look at the school website - www.chengelo.sch.zm. There is also a website for the Chengelo Educational Trust, www.chengelo.com.
I know that many of you have been so generous in supporting Chengelo over the years - thank you! I really hope you will once again be willing to contribute and help me raise my target of £1000.
I hope to catch up with all of you at some point soon - thank you so much & hope to see some of you cheering on the sidelines!
Love
Tamsinx
