My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my special Love Running fundraising page.

 

On May 20th 2012, I'm going to run the Bristol 10km road race along with around 500 other Love Runners. I have never run that far before in my life!!! But my training is well under way, and I'm feeling positive!! :)

 

Our goal is to change the world by raising finance for three incredible causes -

The Poor (World Vision - Zimbabwe),

Zimbabwe is a country so poor it no longer has its own currency. Unemployment is at 90% and average life expectancy is just 40 years old. Around 16% of the population are HIV positive. Love Running is the sole supporter of a World Vision area development programme in Hurungwe, a region of around 40,000 people in the rural north of Zimbabwe. Working with community leaders, churches and health clinics, this project provides education, training, business empowerment and sustainable development for entire communities. World Vision is particularly focused on the plight of the many orphaned and vulnerable children in Hurungwe.


The Oppressed (Tear Fund Clean Water Project - Uganda),

Today, in 2012, 900 million people worldwide have no access to clean water. As a result, 5,000 children die each and every day. We want to do something about this injustice, so we're partnering with Tear Fund to transform an area in Uganda where the problem is most acute. We're going to help provide clean water for 6,000 villagers by building rain water harvesting and filtration systems, as well developing sanitation and education. Love Running will literally change the lives of children who right now have to spend 3-4 hours a day collecting water, often at great personal risk.


The Needy (CLIC Sargent and 6 other local Bristol charities).

The final third of the money we raise will go to areas of greatest need on our own doorstep. We're joining with Bristol Council and the Race Organisers to support CLIC Sargent, a charity that works with children suffering from leukemia and cancer. CLIC House in Bristol will receive the lion's share of our local support, with the rest being divided between 6 other Bristol charities - Crisis Centre (the homeless), Reach (single parent support), BISC (foreign students support), The Noise (community action and care), Enough (youth provision on the Hartcliffe estates) and Sea Mills Community Initiatives (community support).

 

"Love in action"

"Love with legs"

We literally want to see Love running to where it's needed the most.
