Story
Thanks for visiting my JustGiving Page!
So against my better judgement I’m running the Loch Ness Marathon 2015 on Sunday 27th of September. I'd signed up months ago and had intended on just running it quietly without making a big song and dance about it - mostly because I'm a little nervous about actually making it to the finish line (Tone's done it before and I have no doubt she'll crush it again this time)! However, given the current refugee crisis I thought maybe I could use the opportunity to inspire some of you to donate to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)...
With your support, UNHCR will provide assistance such as:
- Deliver rescue kits containing a thermal blanket, towel, water, high nutrient energy bar, dry clothes and shoes, to every survivor;
- Set up reception centres where refugees can be registered and receive vital medical care;
- Provide temporary emergency shelter to especially vulnerable refugees;
- Help children travelling alone by providing specialist support and care.
I've donated £30 already for sleeping bags, on their site they say £70 can provide synthetic sleeping mats, £150 can provide rescue kits and £350 (that's a lot but if you can afford it go for it!) can provide tents. Obviously just give what you can!
It would be great if you could donate and share my Page so I can raise as much as possible to help them protect refugees worldwide to provide life-saving emergency assistance. Thank you.
