Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and your consideration in donating :-)

I'm running (well probably jogging!) the London Marathon in April and lord knows I am a mixture of excited and petrified with it being my first full marathon! The thing that I know will keep me going is that I will be raising money for Plan International, a cause close to my heart. Plan works in over 70 countries to help advance the rights of children with  limited opportunities. 

My target is £2,000 which is why I am starting to fundraise now. If you are able to give a gift then I have some guideline amounts below so you can see some of the projects you will be helping to fund. However, anything you can give will make such a difference and I am truly grateful for even just pennies! 

£26 could provide emergency school kits for 7 children to help them continue their education after a natural disaster.

£50 could run training sessions for men and boys in Bangladesh to help them end child marriage in their communities.

£100 could send a girl in Sierra Leone to school for a year.

Your support means Plan can help children like Ludivina from Timor-Leste by providing access to clean water and can go to school https://youtu.be/IodWuE4zpK4
