Abbas' Coventry Half marathon, 18 March 2018
Fundraising for Penny Appeal
Story
**UPDATE**
**As you all may know, the 'Beast from the East' covered Coventry in a thick blanket of snow on the day of the half marathon... However I ran the distance (13.1 miles) anyway the following weekend. And also in order to make up for it and fulfill my pledge to all those who sponsored me, I am also due to run the Shakespeare Stratford upon Avon Half Marathon on Sunday 13th May 2018!!**
An estimated 500,000 Rohingya refugees have fled to neighbouring Bangladesh following violence in Myanmar. The number is rising. They need your help, fast.
Human rights violations and destruction are rife. Homes, shops and entire villages have been burned to the ground. The refugees fleeing the violence have crossed the border injured and ill and need urgent medical attention. The camps in Bangladesh do not have sufficient resources to treat the injured or feed the many that haven't eaten in days.
Please support this urgent cause!
