Hi everyone,

Happy New Year!

I was very fortunate to win a place to participate in the Vodafone Big Half-Marathon 2017 on Sunday 5th March in Malta and help raise money for the Vodafone Foundation.

The Malta Marathon is the first in a series of events that
will run throughout the year to raise money towards supporting refugees through the ‘Choose Love’  campaign.  

Globally, 65.3 million people are currently displaced from
their homes due to conflict or natural disaster.  Among them, 21.3 million people are living as refugees in other countries.  

Money raised will go to our longstanding partners, the
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) & Europe’s largest grassroots distributor of aid, Help Refugees.  UNHCR & Help Refugees play a critical role in supporting both the immediate and long-term needs of those who are displaced.   In partnership with UNHCR, money raised will allow us to continue to enable young refugees to access a quality digital education through our Instant Network Schools in both Africa and Greece. 

I’d really appreciate your support in helping me achieve my sponsorship target of £1000 and kindly donate to my JustGiving page. 

Thank you so much for your support.

Kind regards.

Maria
