Hello, I am running the Marathon! Mainly to settle a score with a fun running telephone box, but also for charity. I am raising money for Paradise Hill, who help in an area of very poor favelas on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. The aim is to improve the quality of life, especially of the children and prevent them ending up on the streets. Money raised will go to education, regenerating a community centre, providing a creche, before and after school activities and support groups, thus freeing up mothers to work and support their families. All contributions no matter how small will go a long way. If anyone wishes to do an incentive sponsor I am hoping to do it in under 3 hours 30 min. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: PARADISE HILL (Via Latin American Ministries )gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Cheers, Tex
