An appeal

This is not necessarily a vegan related post but it is a very important one and I figure I may as well use the international audience I have thanks to Vegan MoFo to make a very worthy appeal. I am running my first Comrades Marathon next year on the 29th of May. The race is 89km (56 miles) and is being run from Durban to Pietermaritzburg. I am using this oppurtunity to raise funds for The Starfish Foundation, who help children in Southern Africa who have been affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. I am aiming to raise R5000 (approximately $800). The donation process is run by an external organisation called Race 4 Charity. Even small donations will be of help.

If you know anyone who might be interested in helping please pass this along to them.

Thank You!
