Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Berlin Marathon on September 25 as both a personal goal, but also to raise money for the MicroLoan Foundation.  The MicroLoan Foundation gives some of the poorest women in Africa the opportunity to work their way out of poverty for good. The work of the Foundation is aimed at moving women away from dependence on aid towards financial sustainability through the provision of small loans and essential business training.  The goal is to help empower women to start their own businesses, enabling them to feed their families everyday.  When they pay back their loans - and 99% do - it is used to help another woman.  I am very excited about the work of the Foundation and hope you can help me achieve my fundraising target .

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll 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 the charity.

Thanks for your support.
