Story
Helloo Hellllloooo!
So Yes, it would appear to be true! In just a couple of weeks I will be running the beast that is, the London Marathon..... and I intend to run (and walk a little :)) the full 26 miles!!!!!!!!
Now everyone has a time they say they will do it in, apart from managing to finish it of course, I am aiming to do it in 5 - 6 hours. So far I have managed to do a full 10 miles, which coming from a person who could just about manage 5 minutes on the running machine, I feel I have come a long way! (And have another 16 miles to conquer!)
I am hoping to raise funds for 3 different charities. I have personal reasons for choosing each of these charities and so any amount of money raised for them will be incrediable... the more the better of course:)

This page is all about the AMAZING Swazi kids, a charity that I have known for the last couple of years and been overwhelmed by the amount that is achieved. The charity is run by one family in Swansea, and a couple of volunteers. They have to date managed to send hundreds of orphaned children to school in Swazliand, and feed and clothe them. They do some incredible work, and would like to keep sending these kids to school. So please make a donation to support the work of the Swazi Kids as you will be making a HUGE diffence :)
THE SWAZI KIDS
The Children of Swaziland helps women, orphans and vulnerable children affected by HIV/AIDS in rural Swaziland, by providing them with funding for education, healthcare and other basics needs they cannot otherwise access. We are a small family run charity who fund all administration costs ourselves so that all donations go directly to the people who need them the most. In the past two years, thanks to our generous sponsors and supporters we have sent 375 orphans and vulnerable children to school, helped fund treatment for children suffering from HIV/AIDS and facilitated the donation of a 20 foot container of clothing and other desperately needed items to women and children in rural areas.
I am running for 3 charities. If you would like to sponsor the others - see links below.
Pancreatic Cancer UK
The Singleton Hospital, Chemotherapy ward
There is no just giving page for this cause, however please contact me directly if you wish to make a donation.
