Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I am running the London Marathon in April 2011 for FARM-Africa and would love your support.

FARM-Africa was founded in 1985 to help poor farmers and herders in Africa produce more food, keep their livestock healthy, make a basic living and manage their natural resources in a sustainable way.

There are three main groups of people that your sponsorship money would help...smallholder farmers, pastoralists and forest communities. These people are often faced with harsh conditions and have poor access to vital resoures.

FARM-Africa provides the training and support that poor rural communities need to help work themselves out of poverty through improved ways to manage their crops, livestock, forests and access to water.

Luckily my pain will be well worth it as the money I raise will be going to a wonderful charity, one which is relevant to a lot of aspects of my life: a farming background, my veterinary career and love of Africa. Any amount of sponsorship will be greatly appreciated and will spur me on to train through these cold winter months!

Lots of love, Toppy xxx
