My Personal Message

Hey Guys,

Thanks for visiting my personal fundraising page. The Link Community Development charity is a very worthy cause and I would very much appreciate your support in helping me to raise funds for this charity.

I will be completing several medium/long distance running events this year to help support this charity:

- 18th April 2010 Chris Hoy Edinburgh Half Marathon (event completed in 1hr 38mins 21secs)
- 11th July 2010 London 10 k run
- 12th Sept 2010 Robin Hood Half Marathon

I will enter the events above when they have been booked, plus I will post a picture of me completing the event after it is done.

Any donation no matter how small is hugely appreciated.

Many thanks in advance for your support,

Ken

About my charity

Link Community Development

Link Community Development (LCD) is an organisation working in Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi, South Africa and Uganda towards improving education for children, giving them a chance to escape the poverty into which they have been born.

LCD’s vision is of a future where children are given a chance to flourish and fulfil their potential. We believe that education is a basic human right and fundamental to breaking the cycle of poverty. Our mission is to improve the potential of disadvantaged people in Africa to gain meaningful employment by sharing and developing appropriate skills through education and training.

In Ireland, LCD links schools with schools in Africa, allowing pupils, teachers and communities to exchange information and ideas and facilitating the Irish school to support the African school in its development.

LCD in Ireland also sends Irish teachers to work in African schools and communities to share skills and support school improvement.
 

“There is perhaps nothing more important than the education of our young people. It is through access to quality education that young people can develop to their full potential and extend their opportunities in life.”  The Most Reverend Desmond Tutu, Patron of LCD
