Help me run 100 miles in one go by donating to a lifesaving cause
Fundraising for The Life You Can Save UK - Prism the Gift Fund
Story
On June 8th, 2024, I'm taking on my first 100-mile ultramarathon. The run will span approximately 24 hours, following the South Downs Way from Winchester to Eastbourne. While pushing my limits, I also aim to support a very worthy cause.
Why I Chose New Incentives
Their stats! (naturally) New Incentives is on a mission to save lives in a way that does the most good per dollar. They're doing that by increasing infant vaccination rates in Nigeria, which has among the lowest vaccination rates in the world. By educating caregivers, providing cash incentives for vaccinating infants and working with governments on the supply chain, New Incentives has managed to double vaccination rates in the regions they serve (https://www.newincentives.org/rct-results).
Impact of Your Donation
New Incentives has already reached over 3.2 million infants and, as their program expands, their cost-effectiveness improves. Currently, it costs just $11 to cover all expenses associated with ensuring one infant receives all four life-saving vaccines. This means every dollar you donate extends its reach, maximising the impact of your generosity.
