Thanks for taking the time to visit my LSE Community Festival JustGiving page.

I am not much of a runner/walker but there are two reasons why I am participating in this and asking your support.

First, after an attack of labyrnthitis I have been suffering vestibular neuritis for five months and not being able to balance properly or walk much is driving me nuts: I am determined to get through it on Sunday for a few laps of Lincolns Inn Fields: I am the one who is walking while others run.

Secondly, students have organised this to generate additional funding support for the LSE African initiative and disadvantaged students. I have had the luxury of sick pay, great colleagues and the NHS for support through my little difficulty. Doing a little bit for others without such advantage is a small gesture for a great cause.

So donate whatever you can. Thanks
