Story
I am running on behalf of a new charity with which I am involved, the Jane Bubear Sport Foundation (www.janebubearsport.co.uk - charity reference no.1126543). It was set up, in particular, to support young people in communities under challenge by the provision of customised sports kit - though it supports other good causes as well. In its first year of operation it has provided sports kit to schools in Ghana, Kenya, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe and provided football boots to new Liberian third division side Millwall FC Monrovia and worked with Millwall FC to supply the Millwall 08/.09 reserve team strip to the team. The charity recognises it has not remotely scratched the surface of what is possible in terms of giving young people a real boost through the provision at a low cost of something many of us in the United Kingdom might take for granted. £75 can be enough to provide football kit for another school team, so please give generously to enable the Jane Bubear Sports Foundation to extend its reach in 2010 and beyond.
Please sponsor me now!
PS:
For technical
reasons beyond my control (torn cartilage from poor waterskiing) the
Las Vegas Marathon 2009 has been postponed (for me that is) until 2010 (donations
nonetheless gratefully accepted!). However a special Jane Bubear
Sport Foundation 10k race is being organised for Spring 2010. Please
keep a look out on www.janebubear.co.uk for details
