My story

 

Thanks so much for visiting this JustGiving page set up by Andrew (Doggy) Doig and Gary Barnett.

We have decided to both run 4 half-marathons in the Coastal Trail Series to raise money for the Child Welfare Scheme in Nepal.


First race done!

Liz and Andrew completed the Dorset leg, on a beautiful, sunny, wind free day. Click 'photos' on the left to see pictures from our run. It was very muddy underfoot, and there were some tortuous hills on the way - very cruel of the organisers to put a 600 foot climb and scramble down to a 2 mile stretch of shingle as the end of the race!  But it was a great experience. Doing the run took us into some very beautiful countryside  and there was plenty of camaraderie among the runners.  Looking forward to the next one.

The Coastal Trail Series

These are a set of 7 off-road runs that take place on some of the most beautiful (and hilly!) coastal areas of the south west of England. If you want to get an idea of what this will involve, visit their website.

Andrew and his sister Liz are running the half marathon in Dorset on 7th November 2009. (To see what the course will be like have a look at the route and elevation maps under 'course details' on this page.)

Then Gary and Andrew will run three stages together:

Portland on 23/01/10

Cornwall on 24/04/10

Exmoor on 22/05/10

Gary will also be doing the South Devon stage on 27/02/10.

Why Child Welfare Scheme?

Both Gary and Andrew have a long association with Child Welfare Scheme. Gary lived in Nepal for many years and was involved with CWS from its very earliest days. He co-ordinated the construction of 11 day-care health centres and the JYOTI vocational training centre. Andrew visited Nepal in 1998, met Gary and other people working for the charity, and quickly realised that he would like to help by raising funds.

For more information on the Child Welfare Scheme, visit their website here.

Why Nepal?

Nepal is the least developed country in Asia, with years of conflict worsening the poverty.

Out of every 100 children in Nepal:
• 42 live below the poverty line
• 48 will be malnourished
• 42 will be involved in child labour
• 39 will not complete primary education
• 7 will die before their 5th birthday

Please sponsor us to help support these children, and give as generously as you can. 

Every penny you donate will go directly to CWS.

How your donation could help:

£5 could help educate a child, by providing them with school books for 1 year

£10 could provide medical help for a child living in a remote mountain community

£25 could prevent health problems and accidents associated with traditional stoves, by building an improved cooking stove for a family in Nepal

£40 could provide protection and safety for a girl at high risk of abuse, by paying for an emergency home for a month

£50 could mean a street child no longer has to go hungry, by buying them a meal every day for a year

£100 could give a disadvantaged young person a new start in life, by paying for a month’s vocational training.

£250 could help treat patients and save lives, by paying the salary of a doctor for a whole month.

We’ll be posting updates on our runs here, so please come back and visit our page again soon!  Thank you so much for your support!
