Story

As most of you know I'm running the brighton marathon, 26.2 miles of road racing, or for the majority, 26.2 miles of greulling, sweaty running.

The charirty that I'm running for was introduced to me by Alex's godmother, who is one of their main fundraisers and organisers. 

Hope and Homes for Children help children from run-down Central and Eastern European orphanages, and place them either back with their parents, or with families who will love them.

I know that Sue (Alex's Godmother) has visited the institutions the children are saved from, and she says that the difference it makes to the childrens' lives is amazing.

I know all of you appreciate your parents and would love to help children in a very difficult situation. So please help me to raise money in order to help more children have a supporting family.

5.4 million children across the world are currently trapped in orphanages – even though 80% of them have family they could live with if they had the right support. Orphanages harm children, depriving them of love and exposing them to abuse. Your support helps us get children to back to family.
