Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 22 September I am running the Northampton Half Marathon with Vicki Knight and Lauren Evans, then on 6 October we are biking the Brampton Valley Way, both ways (!), with Faith and Joel Knight. All this because we believe wholeheartedly in the amazing work of Thembalitsha in Grabouw, Cape Town, South Africa. Working with children with HIV, TB and other horrendous conditions in the poorest settlements, they work so hard to give these kids and their families and communities a second chance. They run a children's unit called Village of Hope as well as sports and mentoring projects, and also support other activities like Thembacare (an in-patient facility for adults with HIV / AIDS), home visits for the sick, Rainbow Smiles, (support for teens with HIV), a School of Hope for those excluded from mainstream schools, and Bosom Buddies (vital early support for new mums). We've visited and volunteered on  these projects and seen the wonderful transformation in people's lives for ourselves. Join us in supporting them please and make a donation :-)
