Hello Everyone!

I'm sure everyone has received countless requests for sponsorship already this year and i'm a little late to the party in respect of my goal and deadline... but hey, it's a challenge if nothing else.

If you don't already know I managed to secure a sneaky spot in the Virgin London Marathon 2016 on behalf of Water Aid - a very worthwhile charity that aims to provide water, sanitation and hygiene to those who have access to none.

The things we take for granted on a daily basis can often have life and death implications for others, did you know?

• 650 million people live without safe water.
• 2.3 billion people don't have access to adequate sanitation, one in three of the worlds population.
• 315,000 children under-five die every year from diarrhoeal diseases caused by dirty water and poor sanitation. That's 900 children per day.

Water Aid has teams in 37 countries across the work, working with our partners to transform millions of lives every year by improving access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene. We will use your donations in the best way possible.

For every £1 given, 78p is spent helping provide people with safe water, toilets and hygiene, 21p is spent on fundraising, and 1p on governance.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page and ANY donation of ANY value is appreciated greatly.

Thanks

Clarke
