George Roast
George's 100km for Ukraine
Fundraising for Save the Children
Story
What are you doing?
I am running 100km around Poole during the next month to raise money for the Save the Children Ukraine appeal.
Why did you decide to do this?
I have seen things about the war on Newsround and spoken to my mum and dad about it. It makes me upset because children shouldn't have to go through this - they have the right to stay safe and have fun.
What is your target?
My original target was £150 but I smashed through that after 24 hours from my friends and family. Then i increased my target to £1000, £1500 and £1750 but I have beaten that as well - now my final target is £2000!
What gave you the idea?
I remember when Captain Tom went around his garden and raised lots of money. I hope that I do the same!
