Clay Shaw Butler accountant Amanda Russell is running the Cardiff half marathon on Sunday.
She is joining a team of five other runners from West Wales raising money for a small country in west Africa called Burkina Faso.
Amanda said: "The United Nations rates Burkina Faso as the world's third poorest country and so they need as much help and money as we can give to allow them a chance to become self sustainable. The money being raised is specifically being put towards flood prevention so please follow the link below to donate. Thanks!

"The situation in Burkina Faso is urgent with thousands facing famine NOW. Please give what you can.
"Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 28%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving."
