Story

Thanks for visiting my page!

 I decided to run a marathon, firstly because I fancied something a bit different, but more importantly because of what I saw on the news. While watching the Syrian crisis unfold, I felt such anger and sympathy for the citizens who were being brutalised by their own leader, and suffering as a result of the rebellion. But what really moved me was seeing children lose so much; their homes, their education, their family and their lives.

 Any donation you give will help provide with some of the basics that their country has taken away from them. It comes in the form of medicine, healthcare and vaccinations, in food parcels, providing teachers and essentially letting them have a life. 

 The money will go to not only children in Syria, but children suffering all around the world.

Thanks again for your time
