In this campaign the YMO Trust wants to bring the community together in a bid to improve their health by participating in a fun family event, Love Luton 10K/Half Marathon and raise the profile of a great cause at the same time.

Our main aim being three-fold: 1. mobilise our community in an exhibition of community cohesion and diversity. 2. Push eternal fence sitters towards health and fitness with other like minded people. 3. And finally, to expose the YMO Trust, its mission and achievements to date to a wider audience.

We want to make this event another great success for the community, for the individuals and for the YMO Trust.

Recent global estimates based on data of UNICEF, the ILO and the World Bank indicate that 168 million children aged 5 to 17 are engaged in child labour. Millions of them suffer in the worst forms of child labour, including slavery and slavery-like practices such as forced and bonded labour and child soldiering, sexual exploitation, or are used by adults in illicit activities, including drug trafficking.

YMO Trust supports the educational needs of children at school age, who due to economic poverty are in danger of falling out of education or have already fallen out and may go into child labour. UNICEF and local knowledge dictates that the problem is vast across the developing world. By supporting education YMO will help increase literacy and education standards in line or beyond what is set by local or government standards.

Every penny received goes directly to supporting the under privileged children in Bangladesh to facilitate education, maximise their potential and give them the skills to support themselves and their families for the future.
