Money, money, money

Further to Robyn's post below, I thought I'd jump up and down excitedly at the thought of the £110 people have kindly sponsored us so far! Here is some of what that £110 could buy for Oxfam (according to their website):

1830 school dinners for children, to help them concentrate and study better in school and give them a regular source of nourishment. I reckon that's enough to keep 366 children going for a week, or 7 children fed for a whole year.

It's more than enough to feed 5 children orphaned by AIDS in Malawi for 3 and a half months.

Or enough to pay 2 trainee teachers' salaries in Kenya for 5 weeks. Education gives people the skills to work their way out of poverty.

The Gurkha Welfare Trust could use £110 to:

Sponsor a veteran for 5 months

Provide basic food for 5 1/2 months

Not too shabby, eh? I guess to keep the sponsorship rolling in, I'd better keep training! I'm going for a run later - trying to improve on 2 miles in 26 minutes. Thanks to all of you who have sponsored us so far - it's much appreciated!
