Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

It's triathlon time again :) Last year I swam/biked/ran the London Triathlon to raise funds for the charity Water Aid. This year, I'm raising funds for Oxfam's East Africa Appeal for food aid. 

Some areas of East Africa have suffered the worst drought in 60 years and the UN now classifies large areas of Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya as in a crisis or an emergency.

Ethiopia faces its worst drought for a decade with an estimated 3.2m people in need of emergency aid.

More than a quarter of children in the worst-hit parts of Kenya are now dangerously malnourished, and in Somalia malnutrition rates have reached 30% in some areas.

A combination of failed rains and soaring global food prices has left more than £9m people living in remote areas across the Horn of Africa - more than half of them children - without enough food and water and at risk of malnutrition.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving. 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.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks for your support!
