Hi, thanks for visiting my page.  

My name is Joao and I’m running the 2012 Reading Half Marathon on the 1st of April and raising money for ChildLine.

I could really use your help on this as I believe you can experience the same feelings of consciousness, fullness, and “doing the right thing” as I do doing this!

So, next time you’re thinking of having a take away dinner (instead of a healthy homemade meal) a new t-shirt (that you know deep down inside you don’t need) or anything else that you feel you can’t live without… could you please just take a minute or two to think about the children you would be helping?

I believe I can count on you! Any contribution is welcome and there’s no such thing as “little” as for the children they’re all be HUGE no matter what.

Many thanks!

Joao
