Story

We are running the Royal Parks Half Marathon 2023 for CAFOD. We would be really grateful for any sponsorship you can afford to give us - every penny will make a difference.

Cafod are an international development charity who reach out to people living in poverty with practical help, whatever their religion or culture

You will be helping people like Maria:

Maria lives on the outskirts of a small town in north eastern Brazil. As a single mother, she has often struggled to make ends meet. Several years ago, along with 12 other women from her community, Maria turned a small patch of disused dumping ground into a profitable vegetable garden.

The state of Piau (where Maria lives) in north east Brazil is one of the poorest regions in the country. Piau is very sunny which means the state has massive potential for solar energy production. However, because of the high costs involved, rural communities often have limited access to this energy.

Our partner Caritas Brazil are promoting a new energy system that will ensure sustainable energy for poor communities which doesn't harm the environment.
