This summer I started training for the Yorkshire Marathon to raise money to support the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan. On Sunday 17th October I managed to run it despite multiple training injuries and mental blocks, as well as coming to the realisation during a 3-hour run in the pouring rain wishing I was literally anywhere else that I no longer actually enjoy running!!  Any donations to help with the crisis in Afghanistan and to make my current inability to walk a little more worth it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for reading/ your donation! - Love Hannah xxx 

GlobalGiving's charity work in Afghanistan:

 Across Afghanistan, thousands of civilians have been killed and hundreds of thousands have been forced from their homes. With the Taliban now in power, families, communities, and livelihoods are more threatened than ever. GlobalGiving is working closely with our partners on the ground to get emergency support to people in Afghanistan. Your donation will go to vetted nonprofits working in the region.

Challenge: This rapidly unfolding humanitarian emergency is dangerous for all Afghans but women, children, activists, and journalists are particularly at risk. Access to food is even more difficult for many families and staying safe during the COVID-19 pandemic poses additional challenges. We know from our ongoing work in the country that it is vital to get funds to locally-led nonprofits that can provide both emergency relief as well as long-term support to their communities.
