Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

On the 28th October 2012, Mike and Geri will be running the Run to the Beat half marathon.  Over the past few years, we have run a few 5K and 10Ks and thought the time had now come to set ourselves a real challenge.  As well as setting ourselves a bigger physical challenge, we have also set ourselves the challenge of raising more money for a small charity that makes a huge difference called Lively Minds.  We chose this charity as our close friend Gen volunteers for them. 

Lively Minds are a small charity making a huge difference to the lives of thousands of children and their families living in poverty in rural Ghana and Uganda through cheap and sustainable early years education projects. They train vulnerable mothers to run educational Play Schemes for all the 3-6 year old children in their village . The children just don't have any of the opportunities that we do here. So these simple Play Schemes make a huge difference - educating children at an early age when this early kind of education can make so much difference to their future development.

It will truly make a huge difference to them, and us, if you could sponsor us. You'll be helping to change lives for so many children and leaving a lasting legacy as, once set up, a Lively Minds Play Centre will continue to benefit hundreds more children for years to come.

Thank you so much!

So please dig deep and donate now.
