This isn't anything to do with poetry but am hoping my lovely poet friends will help me out. I am running the brighton Marathon this sunday for The Cambodian Children's Society.

The Cambodian Children’s Charity (‘CamKids’) is a development and relief organisation, dedicated to providing direct aid to poor children in Cambodia. Its principal objective is to help children in Cambodia who are either poor or whose parents are not there for them: orphans, street children, children living in poor rural areas and children affected by natural disasters, such as flood or famine. In a country where there is a high rate of child abandonment, it also supports programs to help strengthen vulnerable families and keep them together. CamKids has absolutely no overhead costs as it is run entirely by its Trustees and supporters and receives all of the services and goods it needs, free of charge, from individuals and corporate friends of the charity.

I have nearly reached my £500 target but still have a little further to go so if anybody can donate a few pounds in sponsorship, I will be hugely grateful. You can donate by following the link here
