Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I will be running the Paris Marathon on 10th April. It will be somewhat challenging given that, until recently, a short trip from Baker Street to Paddington on a Boris Bike would have me gasping for breath.
And I am hola-ing for your support! I will be raising money for the Pakistan-based Citizens Foundation (http://www.thecitizensfoundation.org/). The Citizens Foundation is a leading non-profit organization in the field of formal education with 660 schooling units and 92,000 enrolled pupils nationwide. I firmly believe that their work has strong impact as "education can make the difference between temporary alleviation and long-term solutions." Around half of Pakistan's 170 million population are illiterate, while 3 in 10 children aged 5-9 don't go to school. Your support can help provide an education to those who would otherwise never see the inside of a classroom.
Please dig deep and donate! Thank you very much for your support.
