Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.
On the 20 September I ran the world’s biggest half marathon, running 13.1 miles for Christian Aid in the Great North Run. I trained hard to complete the challenge and raise vital sponsorship to help Christian Aid achieve its vision of an end to poverty.
Poverty is an outrage against humanity. It robs people of dignity, justice, freedom and hope, of power over their own lives. More than a billion people worldwide suffer in its grip, denied the life chances available to those more fortunate. Christian Aid is committed to fighting against poverty in all its forms, helping people irrespective of race or religion in 49 of the world’s poorest countries.
When you think just £30 could provide a year’s supply of school stationery and a school uniform to provide education for one child orphaned by HIV in South Africa, that £12 could provide the materials to construct a temporary shelter for one family affected by floods in Bihar in India, or that in the same place £45 pays a teacher’s salary for a month, that gives an idea of what your donation could do.
Thank you for your support,
Tim
