Well, not quite just yet. But on Sunday 5th July I'll be walking 20km around Trent Park in Enfield, North London. And I need your help. Because it's not just a weekend stroll in the country, but a sponsored walk to raise funds for Shishukunj. Shishukunj is a charity dedicated to the cultural, educational, spiritual and physical development of children. It has been in existence in the UK for over 30 years and now has three core centres. All its activities are organised and run entirely by young volunteers. It draws its strength from a strong relationship between workers, children and parents. One of its projects, Life for Children (L4C), has been established to relieve distress and poverty amongst children in the developing countries, specifically focusing on food, health, education and shelter.
So I need you to pop over to my Just Giving page and make a small donation. It doesn't have to be much (although it would be jolly nice if it was), because every penny helps.
I don't do this often. In fact, it's only the third sponsored event that I've got involved in, roughly ten years apart. So I won't be tapping you for more cash for a long time yet.
And, remember, the tough bit for me is going to be getting up in the morning in time for an 8.45am start.
Go on, do it now before you forget.
Oh, and spread the word.
Thanks,
David
UPDATE: A huge, big thanks to Ace Jet 170's Richard for kicking off the donations. It's not that I'm trying to twist your arm or anything, but go on, now it's your turn.
Hello David, long time no speak! I hope you are well. I recently did a 13 mile walk around Watford for Watford's peace hospice, It is good fun, I'm not sure quite how far 20km is but 13 miles took me about 3 and a half hours! I wish you the best of luck and I'll sponsor you in just a second, if you want to return the favour, or anyone else does, my fundraising page is: justgiving.com/siangriffiths3
