Colin Blythe runs the Edinburgh Marathon for Thusananga & Khaya Lokukhanya

Thank you for visiting my fund raising page - its not to late to sponsor me.

I ran the Edinburgh Marathon on 31st May on behalf of Thusananga Home Based Care Association, whose aim is to help alleviate some of the problems encountered by those affected and infected by HIV in rural South Africa.

After visiting this project in the Eastern Cape, I became very aware of the devastating effect HIV/AIDS continues to have on so many lives there. I was shocked by the lack of funding whether it be for preventative education about the disease or for care of those who were actually suffering.

Thank you for your generosity - we have raised £1230 so far!

Donating through this site is simple fast and totally secure, it is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Thusananga will receive your money straight away. You can also feel confident that all your money will go to those who need it most as Thusananga works at the grassroots level without paid administrators.

Many thanks for your support.

Colin
