I am running for the Athens Authentic Marathon! This is the first time I take part in such a long distance run and I am a little apprehensive of the whole thing. I need all the encouragement and support of my friends and colleagues in this effort. I have been preparing for the past two months and I am optimist that I will achieve my target. 


However, I am not running only for myself. I am also running for Home-Start Hellas (Greece) through Home-Start Worldwide. Can you help me raise funds for them? 

Why am I supporting Home-Start Hellas ?

The humane, steady support offered to families through Home-Start volunteers is very much needed at present in Greece. Piraeus (next to Athens) is an area that is severely hit by the economic crisis and this is the area that Home-Start Hellas focuses presently its attention. You can find out more about the work on http://www.homestart.org.gr 
.

I very much hope many friends and family will give donations for this good purpose. The money raised will go to a country and for families with many needs. We Europeans can  express in this way our sense of solidarity and show that we care. Donating through Justgiving  is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me.  

Home-Start Worldwide,  will receive the money in the first place and  guarantees to pass it straight on to Home-Start Greece, one of the overseas organisations it supports. 


Your sponsorship would be great!
