Fundraising
Kikenyi water source before and after protection. Children were at risk of falling in when climbing down to collect water - and even at risk of drowning.
Glanford & Lindsey Lions Club gave £1,300 to protect Kikenyi water source in Uganda.
The village headman said:
“The villagers are so thankful for the protection of their water supply. In addition the risk of drowning by children or adults, in the dirty pond of water is no longer present.”
Why is Julie doing the Manchester Marathon?
“On Sunday 29th of April I am going to run the Manchester Marathon. In 15 weeks time I will have run it. Note the positive tone of the last two sentences that this is something that I can and will do!!
I had some friends round for dinner last night and told them that about my marathon run. There was a look of ‘why?’ round the table. I run a half marathon every year and also ask the question ‘why’? The question comes after I have completed a half marathon, been really very pleased that I did it and then wonder why on earth do people run marathons as running half the distance is challenging enough!!
So to answer the ‘why’? I like to run. I like being outdoors running. It’s simple – pair of running shoes, running gear and you are off from your front door. It’s meditative (you might need to be a runner to get this!). And entering a run gives a focus. And I guess I just want to do 1 marathon in my life, at the age of 55 this is the year I do it. Manchester has not held a marathon for 10 years and I am going to be in the line up.
And one more ‘why’ – I am running to raise money for Water For Kids so please sponsor me. I have set up a Justgiving page – so you can sponsor me on line. Just got to www.justgiving.com/Julie-Hart to support this very worth while charity.
And if you are in Manchester on the 29th and happen to be on the marathon route – all words of encouragement will be greatly appreciated!”
