Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Loughborough Students Rag 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.
Right so thats all the jazz from Justgiving, now for me to speak:
I'M RUNNING FOR TWO CHARITIES, AND LOUGHBOROUGH RAG WILL BE DIVIDING THE MONEY RAISED BETWEEN THE TWO. PLEASE NOTE THAT LOUGHBOROUGH RAG ARE PURELY FORWARDING THE MONEY STRAIGHT TO THE CHARITIES, I.E. ALL THE MONEY RAISED GOES TO THE CHARITIES.
I'm running about twelve marathons in nine months for two charities. The marathons start in September 2008 and go on until May 2009. The marathons I'm running are currently:
Nottingham (half marathon) - Sept 2008 - Completed
Berlin - Sept 2008 - Completed (Personal Best)
Chicago - Oct 2008 - Completed
Niagara Falls - Oct 2008 - Completed
Seattle - Nov 2008 - Completed
Honolulu (Hawaii) - Dec 2008 - Completed
Hobart (Tasmania) - Jan 2009 - Completed
Marrakech (Morocco) - Jan 2009 - Completed

Antarctica - Mar 2009 - Completed
Paris - Apr 2009 - Completed
Great Wall of China - May 2009 - Completed
Easter Island (Chile) - June 2009 - Completed
I'm hoping to also break the WORLD RECORD for being the youngest person to run a marathon on each of the 7 continents, (Europe, Africa, North America, South America, Asia, Australasia,Antarctica).
I'm running for Watoto Child Care Ministries and Survivors Fund (SURF). The money raised for Watoto will go towards equipping a new babies home inwith incubanters, high chairs, cots, etc. The money raised for SURF will go to their own going work with the survivors of the Rwandan Genocide in the early 1990's.
