A simple solution is providing deworming tablets, which researchers have described as "the best buy in development". You can help by sponsoring me to run my first half-marathon. It's been tough fitting training in around childcare and knee injuries, but its nothing on the challenges the children of West Kalimantan face - help me support them

Half-marathon completed! - 24/06/2013 24 June 2013

The rain stopped and the wind eased on the the morning os Sunday 23rd in time for the Wellington Half Marathon. And I made it -I finished in 2h02mins - so really pleased with my time, even though I found it hard, and my body now hurts all over. Thank you to all the generous supporters - we have now raised $1328 for the children of West Kalimantan. That's amazing. Thank you too to my family who have looked after my children while I trained; and to friends, neighbours and Ngaio mums who I have run with, swapped running stories with and who have supported me in my aim to complete this event. Thank you everyone:-)

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
