My countdown calendar tells me that it is only 150 days until the London Marathon 2013.
The trouble with big problems is that they often seem so big that we can't imagine how we can possibly make any difference. As a result we often end up feeling powerless and doing nothing. The statistics relating to world poverty can be totally overwhelming. And yet in the light of this situation Christian Aid has a vision - to end poverty.
Rather than being overwhelmed by the situation Christian Aid looks to work with its partners across the world to help people out of poverty, with long term solutions. These solutions are often creative and imaginative. They provide people with the resources they need to help themselves. They are often quite simple - but have an incredible impact. It's about breaking the problem down into manageable bits. About taking a global problem and looking to tackle it at not just the global - but also the individual level. Making a difference one person and one community at a time.
On 21 April I am going to be running the London Marathon for Christian Aid and I would love your support. Together we can make a difference. Whether you give £10, £25 or a £100 your kindness and support will allow Christian Aid to make a difference in the lives of some of the poorest people on the planet.
