Join our Christmas Fun Run on the 27th Dec. You can take part virtually wherever you are or at the 'in person' events in Liverpool and Bollington. Donate or fundraise to support people around the world living in poverty.

You can run, walk or toddle your way through your Christmas Fun Run. The 'in person' events are 5k, but the virtual event can be any distance you like (although 5k is a great distance!). Whatever you do, remember it's the taking part that counts and you'll be raising vital funds for CAFOD.

There is an entry donation for the 'in person' events, but we'd love you to set up a fundraising page for CAFOD by clicking Start Fundraising. If you do set up a fundraising page or make a donation through JustGiving and are going to the 'in person' events, please take a picture to show to the organisers.

If you get to £100 of sponsorship, then we will send you a CAFOD running vest!

We'd love to see photos of you joining in the fun, and don't forget snaps of your pets as well as those in prams and fancy dress, it is a fun run after all! Please do take photos and share them on social media tagging @CAFOD #CAFODFunRun.

This Advent we are looking to support people like Nomita. Nomita is a remarkable person. Raising her children alone in Bangladesh, she somehow manages to feed and educate them through farming a little strip of land. Although their home is a single room, her daughter Sonia says there is happiness among us and good cooperation. But this calm is precarious, since they live on the frontline of climate change.

Did you know:

£7 can provide a family with rice seeds that will grow in salty water

£26 can buy ten ducks that are hardy to local diseases

£52 can teach someone a trade, like tailoring or mechanics

Thank you so much for your kind support for CAFOD, and we hope you enjoy this years Fun Run!!

Take care and stay safe!
