Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

 

This year we are BOTH running the London Marathon to raise money for abandoned disabled children in Thailand. We are running 26.2 miles each, which means by sponsoring us, you are effectively sponsoring us to run 52.4 miles between us! We need extra generosity!

Both of us have spent time volunteering with CCD in Thailand - a charity that works with forgotten and unloved children with disabilities. CCD run daycare centres, a residential centre called Rainbow House and community projects. For Life has been established to raise money and screen volunteers on behalf of CCD in the UK.

 

For Life was actually established by a team which included Lydia back in 2004 and has raised over half a million pounds so far! All our staff are voluntary so more money goes straight to the children in Thailand. However, our income is down this year and we need YOUR help to raise £5000 so please dig deep and help us! The children in Thailand still need CCD's love and care, even though we are in a recession!

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Please gift aid if you can. We need extra generosity to make the 6am runs in the dark, snow, rain and sleet worth it (not to mention the pain and muscle cramps!).
