Ever thought of running 26 miles for charity? Dedj Leibbrandt did just that when she donned her running shoes on Sunday 23 April to run the London Marathon and raise money for Tools for Self Reliance. Congratulations to Dedj for a fantastic effort.

Dedj was born in South Africa under apartheid and left in 1979 because of the unjust regime.

Raising money for Tools for Self Reliance is a small thing that I can do to give something back to Africa’s indigenous peoples.

The Marathon may be over but there is still time to sponsor Dedj. Please be generous and donate online by visiting Dedj’s secure website at www.justgiving.com and help us to give practical help to practical people in Africa.
