Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The situation in Syria has become so hopeless, that aid agencies are struggling to help the 9.3 million affected. Hand in Hand for Syria have delivered food, clothes, shelter, ambulances, educational resources, and medical treatment to thousands of people across the country. Unfortunately until the international community finds a solution for Syria, we need to do all we can to help those who are caught up in the situation.

So Monzena and I have decided to run the Sheffield Half Marathon in order to raise as much funds as possible for this wonderful charity.  We worked really hard these past few months to make sure that our bodies won't fail us during the race (although there are no guarantees in running). And anyone who knows us, must know that we are not the poster children of health and fitness. But thanks to the wonderful advice and support of friends, family, colleagues and the Sheffield running community we've managed to push ourselves in ways we never imagined. 

So please, donate what you can to our cause. The way that Hand in Hand for Syria run their charity allows for low administration costs so that every penny donated goes directly to Syria.
