Aid International is 'A Partnership of Charities Taking Aid to the Poor'. We organise worldwide events such as bike rides, treks, marathons and sponsored builds. These events are for anyone to participate in to raise funds for the charity of their choice. As an organisation we are specifically committed to supporting two charities in particular, Africa Enterprise Trust and Gifts of Love International who both work into third world countries helping to provide homes for rescued street kids and setting up vocational training centres. We are very appreciative of all the support we receive as it enables worthy causes to continue their valuable work and make a difference to people's lives.

Neil's Marathon - London Marathon 2010
Hi, thanks for visiting my page.
Ok so as you may know I'm going to run the 2010 London Marathon. This will be a particularly special event for me as I will be 25 years old on the day that I'm running 25 (+1.2) miles on the 25th April 2010. Wow look at all those 25s!
Due to the all those 25s I've decided that a good fund raising target would be 25 hundred pounds that's £2,500.
All the money raised will go to a charity called Aid International which is run by Bob Hamer - he's a friend on mine so I'll make sure the money goes exactly where it's needed. You can read all about the charity somewhere below - I will be putting all the money I raise towards a couple of orphanage projects in Lusaka - the capital city of Zambia in Africa.
I'm currently building the Aid International website which will be at www.aidinternational.net when I've finished it.
Finally, to check up on how my training is going visit: www.neilsmarathon.com
That's all from me and thanks again for sponsoring me!
