Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  As the title of the page suggests I am running the London Marathon on the 17^th April.  As crazy as that may sound for those of you who know how lazy I can be, it is in fact true.  Kit has been purchased, a running schedule drawn up and some fairly serious training undertaken.

As you may have guessed I am not doing this in pursuit of a good time (although I imagine it will feel AMAZING when I finally (/hopefully) cross the finish line and have an excuse to get naked in front of Buckingham Palace) but...in the name of charity! 

Lattitude Global Volunteering is an international education and development charity which has provided overseas volunteering opportunities for young people for almost 40 years.  Not only do these volunteering placements help some of the world’s most impoverished communities but last year Lattitude awarded nearly £80, 000 in grants to young people from the UK who would not otherwise be able to partake in volunteer work. 

Your donation will help keep these valuable volunteer projects going and assist those UK youngsters who otherwise would not be able to participate in such a wonderful experience.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast a totally secure.  Your details are safe with JustGIving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.  Once you donate, they will send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.  So it’s the most efficient way to donate.  I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for Lattitude!
