Event: The Farnham Pilgrims' Marathon and Half Marathon, on 18 September 2011

Story

Yes, I'm finally doing my first marathon!!  After 2 half marathons and my 3rd on the 4th September, I've decided to run the Farnham Pilgrim Marathon on the 18th September 2011. 

I'm raising money for a charity called Starfish

Starfish runs projects in South Africa to support young people whose families have been devastated by AIDS to continue their education. Starfish helps in various ways by providing: school uniforms, stationery and books, support for 3,500 children to attend school across South Africa, mentoring and training and much more!

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.

Please show me your support, dig deep and donate now!!

Many many thanks, Mel, xx
