Back up and running... In more ways than one.

Happy National Foundation Day, Japan!! Today we celebrate the founding of the nation and the imperial line by legendary first emperor, Jimmu.  With that bit of fabulous news, we're happy to announce that Justgiving has worked out it's issues and can now accept donations online again. 

Huge SHOUT OUTS and THANK YOUS to Jane, Kate and Charles who have all generously donated to the cause.  We will especially miss the very fabulous Charles and all the Norton Fighters out on the course this year.  Bumped into Norton team members last year while training and they were always there with words of encouragement, inspiration and support.  We hope to pay it forward this year.

Back to training... aka carb-loading while watching Hayley on the Biggest Loser. And a snowbound Valentines weekend for most of the Soundtrackers. Will keep you posted.

The humanitarian crisis in Darfur and eastern Chad that started in 2003 is one of the worst in the world. Many have seen their family killed, abducted or sexually assaulted and their villages burned. Ongoing violence continues to cause people to flee. 2.5 million people are living in difficult and dangerous conditions in overcrowded camps.
South Africa has been particularly badly affected by the HIV and AIDS pandemic. Oxfam supports partner NGOs doing HIV and AIDS awareness work, provision of voluntary counseling and testing, and support to people living with HIV and AIDS. Their work extends to tackling Violence Against Women (VAW) that it is seen as one of the factors driving the HIV and AIDS pandemic.
"School of All" in Mindanao, the Philippines. In 2005 it was recorded that 14% of the population were unemployed and 40% of the population lived below the poverty line. Poverty, on-going conflicts and poorly maintained school buildings make it difficult for children to complete their primary education. 'Education is the way out of poverty for our children', say mothers. Oxfam builds classrooms, toilets and wells in schools to improve the environment for children.
