Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Just to let you know, the legs in the picture are not mine. Mine are much stronger!

I will be running a Half Marathon (13.1 miles) on 18/03/2018 so that funds raised can be used by Penny Appeal to provide food and Emergency Aid to the needy in Rohingya. Your donation will make a world of difference to many families struggling to survive.

We are all fortunate enough to have shelter, family, homes and food within easy reach,  however there are over 600,000 people who have been displaced in Rohingya and are suffering the cruelest torture and violence, fleeing 100's of miles away from home. This includes families, young and the elderly.

So, what am I going to do? I have decided to put down the pizza and pick up running. Anyone who knows me will know I have no running track record at all. So I'm willing to take on this challenge but I need your help. Help me reach the target and I will do my best. Just under 2 months to get ready for the Half Marathon. Imagine the cold, wet and windy nights i will be out on the roads in this treacherous weather, but its not a one man job. It's a team effort. It is a fraction of what the children, men and women of Rohingya face daily.

Below is how raised funds will be used:

-  £50 FOOD PACK Our food packs contain nutritional items like pasta, rice, sugar and chickpeas and can support families for an entire month.

 - £100 FAMILY ESSENTIALS KIT Simple things such as hygiene and sanitation items, clothes and blankets can make a big difference to the health of refugees.

- £200 MEDICAL SUPPLY Provide access to medication to a family.

 - £350 SHELTER Give a family warmth, security and protection by providing them with shelter.

- 3,000 SHELTER Each shelter can house eight families, providing warmth, security and protection.
