Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

There are several charities which will feed a hungry child, clothe a naked one or cure one who is ill, but SOS Children's Villages will also give him that other ingredient, essential if he is to truly thrive - unconditional love. When a young cambodian was asked what the charity means to him he wrote: 'I am rooted in a family. I can grow to be me. I am safe. I belong'.

That is why I have stayed involved with SOS Children's Villages for over 15 years and why I am asking for your donation  today, however big or small.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with them – 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 simplest and most efficient way to give.

Thanks so much for your support and hoping that I manage to complete my side of the bargain by crossing that finishing line on April 25th!
