Story

It's amazing how simple it is to make a difference to someone's life.  And that's what the Friends of Della and Don has been doing for over 5 years since Della and Don were in Sri Lanka when the Boxing Day tsunami hit.  Since then, this small charity has been changing people's lives in Sri Lanka.  You can read more about what we do at the website or catch up with the blog for information about what we achieved on our last visit last February.

Despite the many generous supporters we have, there will come a time when we won't be able to continue the work unless we raise some more money.  This would be heartbreaking when you realise that even the smallest amount of money makes a difference - £5 a month will feed a child, provide them with shoes and clothes and enhance their education; £360 will allow us to pay a teacher for a year.

So, the idea of running the Frampton-on-Severn 10k in July came about to try and raise £10k and we've now got 5 people running.  But lots of others have now volunteered to do sponsored runs in their local area, or to walk 10k in various locations including New York, Barcelona and Oxford, betwen July and September when we next visit, all so the work can carry on.

By sponsoring any of us you will be improving someone's life.  And you can be safe in the knowledge that every penny raised goes directly to those who need it.
