Once again we are doing the Palestine marathon or some of it around the watch towers spires and domes of Bethlehem on the 18th March, and it would be super if some of you could support me to help our disabled kids there by clicking below.

MARY’S MEALS
Maria Toone and Lizzie Walsh (and their Dads!) are running the Cambridge half marathon for Mary’s Meals on March 6th. Maria will be running in memory of her Grandad Pat and Granty (Nuala), to fund the feeding programme in the Julijuah school in Malawi which was set up in their memory when they died. It costs only £15.90 to feed a child for a year and we are hoping to raise £3800: the cost to fund the feeding programme in the school for a year.
