Hi everyone,

I've always wanted to run a marathon but I've just never done it. Anyhow, this year I'm turning 30 and also returning to the US. What a better way to celebrate such a life-changing year than by finally running a marathon. I've signed up for the NY marathon and I'm running it for Camfed, an organization supporting female education; something I strongly believe in. I'd really appreciate any support that you give.

Also, as further inducement, for every $10 you donate, you will be automatically included in a raffle to win a prize. You can see all the prizes on my blog.

I hope these prizes help induce you to sponsor me for the race. I think it’s a great charity and one that we can all get behind.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Cheers,

Caryl
