Virgin London Marathon 2013 · 21 April 2013 ·

CAFOD works with local partners and communities across the world - responding to emergencies, promoting long-term development and raising public awareness of the causes of poverty. We work with people of all faiths and none for a safe, sustainable and peaceful world.

Story

Since we were young children attending primary school we have had a connection with CAFOD, a charity that has supported more than 40 countries across the world in bringing hope and compassion to poor communities.  One of the slogans that CAFOD has is:  ‘Make A Difference!’  We wish to make a difference in running the London Marathon in 2013 and it is our hope to raise £10,000.  In raising funds for CAFOD you too can Make A Difference.  Every £ counts!
