Story

The situation in Syria is going from bad to worse with 100 000 dead and more than 4.5 million people displaced inside the country. 

As you know, the ongoing conflict has had a huge impact on the people I love. That's why I've decided to dedicate my run to the suffering people of Syria whom the world has largely forgotten. 

Most international aid agencies are no longer operating inside Syria as it is too dangerous. Hand in Hand for Syria is one of the few charities that can access inside Syria to the places where aid is needed most. Through its 100% donation policy, it provides medical and humanitarian aid, and for this reason is my chosen charity.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
