Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my very yellow Just Giving page  

In some small moment of madness, I have decided to run the London Marathon with only 2 months to train and 2 months to raise £1000. Already, my knees have started to creak and I am developing injuries from nowhere...

Please please sponsor me because

 

A) I hate, hate running and

B) It's for a very good cause

C) If I raise over £1000, I will dress up as something……suggestions??! 

 

I am running for a small but great Nepalese charity called Global Action Nepal - they are a charity ran by a small group of volunteer trustees in the UK, with about 15 employed staff in Nepal. In a nutshell GAN focus on social and educational development in Nepalese communities and rather than building schools for example, they focus on things like teacher training, parent groups & womens groups. As it's very much a local charity, every penny I raise will go straight to projects in Nepal and being small, I'm confident anything I raise really will make a difference. My connection with the charity is through one of the trustees who I met out in Nepal many years ago and I have a massive love for Nepal - I wouldn't put myself through a marathon lightly!  

Please sponsor me if you can - every penny will go a long way

...and come and cheer me on of you live in London. I'll need encouragement, otherwise I may just curl up by the side of the road and hope noone notices...

Thank you kindly xxxxx
