Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Myself and three other 'Mad Mums' - each with 2 children under 4 years old - have joined together to get fit, have fun and raise as much money as possible for children who are far less fortunate than our own. The money raised will help keep a vulnerable family together and eliminate the risk of their children being placed in a damaging orphanage, so you really are making a difference.
The triathlon, a 400m swim followed by a 21km bike ride and a 5km run on 14th October, will be no easy feat for us mums. For us, this will be Sofa-to-Triathlon in less than 16 weeks! But it will be worth it. St James's Place Foundation Hope and Homes for Children make a real difference to the lives of orphaned and abandoned children across Central and Eastern Europe and Africa.
I've pledged to raise £500 and it would be great if you were able to sponsor me. Just £15 could provide a family with the seeds and advice to grow their own food for their children. £25 could provide a new baby kit for a mother to help make the first few weeks and months easier.
If you would like to hear about the ongoing work of Hope and Homes for Children in Rwanda where we have closed down the first orphanage in Kigali please visit the link.
Thanks so much. Your support is greatly appreciated.
