We are running the Monklands Half Marathon for a great cause, India Village Ministries who work with orphaned and homeless kids in India, we would love to sponsor a teacher/carer and some children over the next year.

£20 a month provides food, shelter, medical care, clothing and education - it changes a life!

We aim to sponsor at least 2 children for a year.

I will think of your cash as my legs ache for the last few miles.

So we are running our first half marathon on May 16th and a group of friends are then taking the money out to India when they visit the project in late June.
